Error when installing node-deflate about node-deflate

[nrstott]

I just experienced that too. I may take deflate out as a dependency for now. There are obviously some problems with it.

Can you download the source and run ./build.sh and let me know the output

The error no such environment: default is apparently a problem with node-waf, try this workaround.

If that doesn't work can you let me know the output of node --version and node-waf --version

I was able to get deflate to install without any errors using the latest ndoe.js (0.5.8). I also have node-waf 1.5.16. However, when running I get:

Error: Cannot find module './deflate-bindings'

Looks like the C++ bindings either didn't get built, or got built into the wrong folder somehow. As the install was successful it looks like they probably got built - can you find the file deflate-bindings anywhere on your system?

Alternatively, can you find the file deflate-bindings.node?

Conclusion: the problem seems to be node-waf being different from the version of node installed.
