Fails to install with iojs@3.0.0

[daviddias]

I'm being unable to install jsonld with iojs@3.0.0, it seems that the problem with contextify (#86) is back or still present:

Until this issue is fixed, a workaround is to grab a copy of the Node v0.12 source (git clone http://github.com/joyent/node then git checkout v0.12) and use the --nodedir option on the npm install, e.g. npm install --nodedir=~/node jsonld to install. Once installed, things should work fine.

It's not the same contextify bug, I think it's a new one related to newer nan version: brianmcd/contextify#173

[p-janik]

Had same issue. Rolled out to iojs-v2.5.0 (with node-gyp 3.0.1) and everything works fine.

[davidlehn]

I split "request" extension into https://github.com/digitalbazaar/jsonld-request and cli tool into https://github.com/digitalbazaar/jsonld-cli which may fix dependency issues if you are just using the core library.

[dlongley]

Version 0.4 now runs in iojs; closing this. An issue can be opened on jsonld-request or jsonld-cli if iojs support is needed over there.

Still broke as hell.

@TheRoboKitten What is broken on which platform?
