I’m having trouble installing the dnode package on my Windows 7 machine with Node.js version 0.8.1. I attempted to use both Python versions 2.7.3 and 3.x, but received errors in both cases.
The main error encountered with Python 2.7 is as follows:
D:\Projects\MyApp>npm install D:\Git\dnode\
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/dnode-protocol
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/weak
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/jsonify

npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the weak package,

npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:

It appears that the issue is tied to the weak dependency and the node-gyp rebuild procedure. Has anyone else faced this problem before?
