Cannot install 3.1 - missing 'nan'

[niveus]

I can't seem to install memcached (which requires hashring) on two different systems. I've tried installing nan globally but that doesn't seem to matter.

> hashring@3.1.0 install /Users/jasongabriele/Documents/involute/sucker/node_modules/memcached/node_modules/hashring
> node-gyp rebuild

module.js:340
    throw err;

Here's the line from my package.json: "memcached": ">= 2.1". Let me know if you want me to post that debug.log - it's pretty long

I have no idea why it's failing because it's defined in the package.json as required: https://github.com/3rd-Eden/node-hashring/blob/master/package.json#L28 so this sounds more like an npm bug than something that is related to this library.

I tried upgrading to npm 2.3.0 and it seems to work now. I guess the solution is to upgrade then!

Awesome, I'm glad that you solved it.
