Can't install buffertools on iojs

[armandabric]

I'm trying to use a package who depend on buffertools. But the install of buffertools fails during the compilation phase:

$ npm install
npm http request GET https://registry.npmjs.org/buffertools
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/buffertools

I've try with iojs 2.4.0 and iojs 3.0.0.

I do not understands why it try to download the node archive :/

This error:

gyp ERR! stack Error: 404 response downloading https://nodejs.org/dist/v2.4.0/node-v2.4.0.tar.gz

Means you're using the wrong node-gyp version, i.e., the one that ships with node.js, not io.js.

If you fix that, it should work with v2.x and v3.x; I took care of v3.x compatibility in 1912a92. Good luck!

[armandabric]

You can I force to last version node-gyp?

[bnoordhuis]

I think your question is how to pick the right node-gyp? I speculate you have both node.js and io.js installed, or you upgraded the npm that came with io.js. It contains a few patches that you'll lose when you upgrade npm manually.

[armandabric]

Yes I upgrade to the NPM 3.x beta branch on iojs. So I suppose this is an issue for the NPM team.
