Node.js v8-profiler module won't install

Question

I'm trying to debug a memory leak in a Node.js application but cannot install the v8-profiler module via npm:

npm install v8-profiler

The response (shortened to the error section) - you can see the full error and more comments about it here: https://github.com/dannycoates/v8-profiler/issues/9

I am using node 0.6.10 built from source on Debian 6.0.3. I've not had any issues with any other NPM modules.

I also tried an install of the module on a machine with the same OS but using node 0.4.12 with the same issue.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The v8-profiler wouldn't compile with the latest version of Node.js but has now been updated fixing the issues above. Problem solved.
