Config error: v8-debug@0.4.6 install: `node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build`

Hi folks, am installing DIG for the second try and got the following config error which seems to be related to python. Going to press ahead and see if I can get it working, but thought I'd highlight this and upload the log files for reference.

Thanks for the note/issue. Did you see this question/answer on stack overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18777882/node-gyp-error-while-doing-npm-install

Seems to be node related. We last built dig with node 0.12.x.

I just re-cloned the project and built (npm install) with node v 0.12.7 without issue. I am not that well-versed in node to be able to give useful guidance on this issue, but perhaps change to 0.12.7.

Hi @flyntde, I am trying to install Dig on an AWS Linux server and coming up against some a few problems which seem to be around the node version. Please could you help me and tell which op system set up you used for your install. Any help really appreciated.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty

I have set this up on mac OS X and a couple of Linux distributions. It's a node app, so node is the platform.

Thanks David, would you be interested in helping us set up an instance of Dig on an AWS Elasticsearch instance. Happy to cover costs.

@flyntde just been bumped on the activity on this latest thread. I'm doing a build on GCE and will give this a try over the next couple of days too. Thanks for suggestions!
