Well, got same issue today on OS X 10.9.2, node 0.10.26, npm 1.4.3

I was getting a similar problem on mint, the problem was the compiler (GCC). It was fixed by installing:

sudo apt-get build-essentials

Check if you have what's needed for your OS

Please see issue #31. It looks like you're using GNU libtool on OSX, which is not expected.
