Could not install johnny five

[paultag]

It looks like you don't have "make" installed - and the problem's actually with node-gyp

[rwaldron]

Thanks for the report!

microtime is actually not being used, so I went ahead and removed it from the dependencies and republished to npm @ 0.2.3 - can you give it another try?

That was fast, but now I've got this:

Ok, looks like @paultag was dead on - what platform are you on? I'm guessing OSX? Looks like there are a few system tools that are missing.

[eskimoblood]

Yes I'm on OSX. Seems I've to install xcode (http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-development-darwin/268153-bash-make-command-not-found.html), not sure if there is an easier way.

[rwaldron]

If you're on Linux: sudo apt-get install build-essential

If you're on OSX: download and install xcode

[rwaldron]

Sorry, I was typing that while you had already replied. Agreed, there seems to be no easier way.

When I created the package, I had assumed that people interested in programming would have either build-essential or xcode - I apologize for the assumption and not documenting the requirements

[eskimoblood]

Thanks for your help, I'll have a break and download xcode.

[eskimoblood]

Ok, installing xcode and command line tools fixed this issue

[rwaldron]

Awesome! Report any other issues you come across :)
