What's wrong?

Did you install node dev package? No idea why configure doesn't throw error. In your case node is not found.

Yes I use Ubuntu 12.04 and I've installed nodejs-dev and nodejs v0.8.11 over this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/node.js . Is it possible to define the node path and node prefix as an option for node-waf or something like that?

[piotras]

Do you build node-gir with node-gyp?

node-gyp rebuild

Yes I've run

node-gyp rebuild

and it build fine, I have also run

npm install

but that does not work

[piotras]

Install with node-gyp as that one built module.

node-gyp install
