I'm getting the above error when running npm install on windows.

I can post the debug log if needed

exactly the same error here. This occurred when I used npm install node-stringprep. Here's my debug log. Need some help guys.

@astro any fix here?

[donquixote]

Hi,
same story here.
node-xmpp does work without stringprep, but it shows an annoying message every time i start a script.
and then when i try to install node-stringprep, i get the above message.
Any ideas?

[tomharvey]

Had the same issue on my debian box - and installing http://packages.debian.org/sid/libicu-dev fixed it (as mentioned in the install instructions, doh me!). Not much help to you WinNT users, but http://site.icu-project.org/download/50#TOC-ICU4C-Download is probably worth a hunt around to get the ICU components installed into your environment - however you do it on that side of the fence. Good luck

I am running Ubuntu and tomharveys comment fixed this issue for me. Installed libicu-dev and node-stringprep installed correctly.

Same problem on OS/X. Any fix?

[robdrimmie]

On OS X checkout the pull request for an update to the readme from issue #19: https://github.com/astro/node-stringprep/pull/19/files I fought for far too long with this before digging into the other issues.

Merged #19
