Not really a buffertools issue, more of a gyp and node-gyp issue.

Do you have a gyp package installed through your distro's package manager? That can conflict with node-gyp's copy.

On a system with no initial node/npm/gyp installation (and with no ~/.npm and no ~/.node-gyp) I'm still getting:

Now I guess it might be a node-gyp issue yeah.

Make sure you use a C++11-capable compiler: g++ >= 4.8.2 or clang++ >= 3.4.

Ah yeah that does it. Thanks !
