node-libcurl not being installed on node 4.x and mac os x about node-libcurl

[JCMais]

Probably something strange with npm. Try cleaning the cache and updating npm.

npm cache clean
npm install npm -g

Closing as it's not related to this project.

There is something else wrong with your project, it's failing to compile bufferutil, which is not a dependency of this module, neither from their dependencies from what I can see.

I could install all the dependencies I have, just failed this and stopped trying after sometime, but never expected to don't be a dependency, I tested to install webclient module which depends on node-libcurl and tries the same, but it also tries to install node-libcurl after bufferutil, utf-8-validate and node-libcurl, as three fails, no webclient is installed also. So it must be some darwin side strange thing... I am not installing node-libcurl on production linux servers as I can not develop on my laptop :(. Don't know what more to say for helping you. Refering to my installation, I had no problem with others modules. Just now I can not implement this feature I wanted with libcurl :(

Here is the complete log

[node-libcurl] Success: "/Users/aberope/robots/kobol/node_modules/node-libcurl/lib/binding/node_libcurl.node" is installed via remote

Seems like node-libcurl is installed after the bufferutil and utf-8-validate fails. Another problem I had is that the library can not be found. I will try it more later and will contact you with the library missing and detailed output. But basically doesn't found libcurl v4 .dylib... no packages in brew for this lib :(

[JCMais]

libcurl is brew install curl

Also, create a new empty folder, cd into it, and run npm install node-libcurl

If it doesn't work, paste the log here.

Fine, libcurl is installed with curl after brew install curl that was the thing for the error I got after running node-libcurl. Refering to empty directory, I created empty one inside my project's root, called empty and launched npm install node-libcurl and same output than before. No node_modules created. Seems like for installing it I must run it with webclient because as it is the last one, it installs node-libcurl which is the before of the last. But with empty dir, and running npm install node-libcul, no node_modules is created, and same output with bufferutil etc.

sorry, I said node 4, but it's wrong, I use node 5.8.0.

[JCMais]

Run again with --verbose flag and add --build-from-source too.

Outside the project, in a folder called emtpy is working with npm install node-libcurl. So I guess it's an error from other package from my project. How can I know which dep is causing this to remove or fix it by another? sorry @JCMais but never happened before.

It's working, thanks!
