I'm using the latest node and npm from Debian sid (v0.10.38/1.4.21)

Could somebody help me on this please

Cheers

You're using the wrong headers somehow. The headers for 0.10.38 include
REPLACE_INVALID_UTF8

I speculate that the debian-packaged node is missing the REPLACE_INVALID_UTF8 patch from v0.10.29 (nodejs/node@881ac26). I suggest you ping the debian package maintainers about that. Maybe cc the maintainers of the libv8 package as well.

Install the Nodesource build instead. https://github.com/nodesource/distributions

@dandart I had the same issue on debian. It's not the node version, but the node-gyp that comes with npm 1.4.21.
Try upgrading to a newer version of node-gyp.

I just did a "npm -g install npm" to upgrade the debian's npm to npm's npm and that presumably included node-gyp and that fixed it so thanks...

however I'm getting other weird errors relating to node-stringprep which I'm not sure are related, but I can install node-stringprep on its own weirdly.

[danwdart]

never mind - the stringprep bug turned out to be that I didn't have libicu-dev

Everything's fine now, thanks for your help

Thanks, it works also fine to me
