Error: "browserify exited with code 1"

Was trying a simple canvas example like:

var Canvas = require('canvas')
  , Image = Canvas.Image
  , canvas = new Canvas(200,200)
  , ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

ctx.font = '30px Impact';
ctx.rotate(.1);
ctx.fillText("Awesome!", 50, 100);

var te = ctx.measureText('Awesome!');
ctx.strokeStyle = 'rgba(0,0,0,0.5)';
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.lineTo(50, 102);
ctx.lineTo(50 + te.width, 102);
ctx.stroke();

console.log('<img src="' + canvas.toDataURL() + '" />');

Bundling error: 

---FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR---

Browserify attempted to use native node-canvas, which failed because we removed the build tooling from the box. It doesn't really make sense on the browser, anyway.

Chances are, there's a readme/howto somewhere for being able to use the require("canvas") workflow as a shim for native canvas, but I don't know it off the top of my head.

Ah, okies, will look for it. Thanks.
