This is the similar to issue 363 but i have done all the steps in that post and it still does not work. I also checked to make sure i had python 2.6 installed because this would definatly fail in 2.7 fyi...

I am running a clean new build of centos with dev tools and installed node from joyents instructions and then installed npm then got this error with pm2 install along with derby install. I also re installed npm from scratch...

any other thoughts?

when installing node-gyp from scratch i get no errors fyi

changing the node-gyp version to ~0.11.0 in npm's package.json (and running npm update) fixed it. (maybe 0.12.0 is fine too did not try that one, tried 12.1 and 12.2).

Installing the latest node from source had no effect, only solution was to downgrade node-gyp on my centos 6 VM.

Same here with the installation of libxml-to-js with (self compiled) node 0.10.24 on Ubuntu 13.10.

Thanks @dcolens for the trick !

this is likely due to duplicate/conflicting gyp installs, see #363 (comment)

Closing. Dup of #363.
