Thanks.

that debug log does not show the actual error, so it is not possible to help you. You need to paste the terminal output. If you did not see any then you'd need to download the sources and run:

./configure && make

and then paste the output you see.

But, my guess is that you are installing the latest version against an older version of node. The latest version (2.1.x) only works with node v0.6 or greater. If you want node v0.4.x compatible node-sqlite3 then try the 2.0.18 version.

Thanks for the fast response. I'm using node 0.6.1.

@morishani, it looks like you don't have the header files of node 0.6 installed which are required for compiling extensions. How did you install node 0.6?

Via the macintosh installer found here : http://nodejs.org/#download

@morishani, for the time being, you have to install node manually from source. I recommend using nvm. The installer doesn't ship with the header files required for compiling extensions.

@morishani: I was running into the same problem, and the Development Seed guys very kindly helped to locate the problem. I had upgraded from NodeJS v0.4.1 to v0.6.7, but still had some of the old version's files and headers in my path. The fix, in three steps:

1. Uninstall NodeJS
2. rm -r /usr/local/include/node/* && rm -r /usr/bin/node* [though probably best to confirm these are the correct locations on your machine]
3. Reinstall NodeJS.

With #61 merged, installation now uses node-gyp which downloads the header files for the current node version before compiling.
