Can't seem to install galileo-io on latest edison image

[gwfong]

I just reflashed a new intel edison image and configure wifi and whatnot. I can install other node packages, like johnny-five. But when it comes to galileo-io (or edison-io), I always get an error. Any ideas how I might be able to resolve this?

When I run:
npm install -g galileo-io

I get the following error:
npm ERR! galileo-io@0.8.18 postinstall: node scripts/postinstall
npm ERR! Exit status 255
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the galileo-io@0.8.18 postinstall script.
npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the galileo-io package,

npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:

Sorry. I found the workaround (#36). Thanks

What version of node/npm did you hit this on? Also what is the version number for "latest edison image"?

[gwfong]

node version: v0.10.38
npm version: 1.4.28
edison version: 159

The edison image was obtained from the all-in-one installer for Mac OS X. I got the installer from https://software.intel.com/en-us/iot/hardware/edison/downloads. After re-installing the new image, I used XDK to update the on-board libraries and the xdk-daemon before trying to install galileo-io (or edison-io).
