Can you install (and rebuild) node-iconv standalone? If yes, then it's not a node-iconv bug.

here is:

E:\Workspace\TZ\LTE-Test\client>npm install iconv
npm http GET http://registry.npmjs.vitecho.com/iconv
npm http 304 http://registry.npmjs.vitecho.com/iconv

> [email protected] install E:\Workspace\TZ\LTE-Test\client\node_modules\iconv
> node-gyp rebuild

That's not quite what I mean. Can you clone the repo and run node-gyp configure build, followed by node-gyp rebuild?

[atian25]

it's a node-gyp issue, without install the depends will throw error.
now I can install iconv.
(node-gyp really should print a friendly error message!!!)

Glad you got it solved.
