I just came across milewise/node-soap and when I run npm install soap, it fails with the following errors:

What is causing the failure?

Answer 1

Yes, it looks like you are missing make on your system. Have you installed xcode command line tools ?

That should install make and other useful dev tools for you.

Here is another SO question related to installing xcode CLI tools :: Xcode 4.4 and later install Command Line Tools
