Build failing on Mac OSX Yosemite / io.js 1.8.1

[lilactown]

I can't tell if this is a problem with node-gyp, or node-webworker-threads.

Here is the relevant log:

> webworker-threads@0.5.5 install /Users/will/Code/happy/node_modules/webworker-threads
> node-gyp rebuild

My googling has shown that this might be an issue with the latest versions of node and io and node-gyp, although I have seen other packages that have submitted fixes for similar issues.

this is a failure in the way node-gyp finds what "node" you're using. you can fix this by linking the fixed node-gyp instead (like this):

cd /Users/will/.nvm/versions/io.js/v1.8.1/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp
npm link

now you should be able to run node-gyp rebuild fine
