Can't install ws on iojs v3.0.0

[lewispham]

I've tried to install ws on iojs v3.0.0 and it fails at node-gyp rebuild stage. Is there any work around for this issue?

[3rd-Eden]

To be honest here, if that part fails, it's really iojs / npm to blame as these are optional binary dependencies that fail to build (work is already being done to get them working on iojs 3). They should just ignore the node-gyp and continue with the installation of the module..

I would suggest also reporting these issues at npm/iojs's repositories. Having that said, community members are already fixing parts of the failing code in the related websockets/* repositories.

@3rd-Eden I have know idea about the cause, otherwise I've done that.

Please confirm that master is working, i've bumped the optionalDependencies now that they support nan 2.0 for iojs 3.0

It fails with same error.

It actually works fine with rebuild but install.

Did you install it using npm install websockets/ws ? Or in a different way?

This is my output with the latest iojs:

$ npm install websockets/ws

No. I use the instructed command npm install --save ws.

[3rd-Eden]

Ok, that just installed the latest published release in npm, not the one from github's master branch.

[lewispham]

I got your output with npm install websockets/ws.

The release is out. Thanks for your patience.
