Another install issue (OSX)

[jessefulton]

I'm also having installation issues when running "npm install contextify"

Here is my output:

npm not ok

node v 0.4.8
npm v 1.0.6
node-waf v 1.5.16

Any idea what it is?

It looks like it can't find the v8 or node header files....so something is probably broken with your installation. Have you tried re-installing node? Do you have v8.h and node.h on your system? npm 1.0.6 is old at this point, so you could also try checking out the code and building it to see if it's something with npm (run node-waf configure build in the contextify directory).

Thanks. Reinstalled npm & node (MacPorts) to versions:

npm v 1.0.104
node v 0.6.0

Install works now. Maybe list the npm version requirements for the contextify package?
