build error OS X 10.8

[DamienBell]

I'm getting a build error when I attempt to install this on my mac.

building talib functions...
CXX(target) Release/obj.target/talib/src/talib.o
../src/talib.cpp:694:9: error: no matching function for call to 'uv_queue_work'
uv_queue_work(uv_default_loop(), req, ExecuteWork, ExecuteWorkDone);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
/Users/damiensbell/.node-gyp/0.8.16/deps/uv/include/uv.h:1322:15: note: candidate
function not viable: no known conversion from 'void (uv_work_t , int)' to
'uv_after_work_cb' (aka 'void ()(uv_work_t )') for 4th argument
UV_EXTERN int uv_queue_work(uv_loop_t loop, uv_work_t* req,
^

It's followed by lots of others errors, but it looks like this is probably the cause.
Any ideas what this might be?

Here is an output from my mac.

Can you please specify the nodejs version you are using? May be include the full output?

[DamienBell]

sure, and thanks for the quick response.

[oransel]

Sure. Is it possible for you to upgrade to the latest NodeJS version?

[DamienBell]

hmm.. updated node, and now it's looking like the problem may actually be coming from node-gyp.

[oransel]

It is still pointing to the old node
/usr/local/Cellar/node/0.8.16/

[DamienBell]

okay, so what eventually got this to work was completely uninstalling, the reinstalling node. Seems to be working fine, thanks
