Do you have python installed? Is it in your path?

which python

If not you can set the PYTHON environment variable specifically so that gyp can find it.

export PYTHON=/Path/To/python

  • I did a quick google check, can't find required version. It will probably be okay. – MobA11y Jul 31 '13 at 14:34

This is probably due to the weak module that dnode uses, which is a native module and needs to be compiled with node-gyp. You are likely to have other problems, not just having Python available. I've had problems installing dnode on windows too.

However, weak is now an optional module in dnode. Its not recommended to use dnode without weak for long running or very heavily used connections without weak, as its a potential memory leak - but it is now usable.
