Cannot install 0.3.3

[arthurtalkgoal]

I found a lota challenge in installing the latest version.

I am using digitalocean nodejs application build

node -v
v0.12.4
npm -v 
2.10.1

And errors found - npm install node-curl

What is Error: Cannot find module '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js'

> node-curl@0.3.3 install /myproject/node_modules/node-curl
> sh src/generate_curl_options_list.sh && (node-gyp rebuild || node-waf configure build)

Oh, I found a very strange bugs, My node-gyp is in

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js

but not

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js

[arthurtalkgoal]

I symbolic link the node-gyp folder but now I get v8 error stated here:

https://github.com/jiangmiao/node-curl/issues/38

oops, very hard to install node-curl in nodejs v0.12

[tnguyen14]

I am unable to install this module, with a different and slightly longer error message

:; npm i node-curl

+1 I am getting the same errors as @tnguyen14

[johnrobertwilson]

+1 same error

[jbogdani]

+1 same here. Any solution yet?

[Lochlan]

Last commit was 11 months ago, I don't think we're getting this fixed.

I ended up using http.ClientRequest although here's another good-looking library that I found: request

[jbogdani]

I opted for node-libcurl.

[joshtronic]

This may help, I was having issues on Ubuntu 16.04 -- https://github.com/joshtronic/node-curl -- I submitted a PR but since I doubt it will get accepted you may just want to install from source:

npm install /path/to/joshtronic/node-curl

Also, was having issues with the OpenSSL version of libcurl4. Ended up swapping for the gnutls version

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev

Hope this helps!!
