Problem installing Node.js

Question

I'm trying to install node.js on a linux machine but i get this error when i run "make":

Waf: Leaving directory `/bin/node/node-v0.2.6/build' 
Build failed:  -> task failed (err #1):
        {task: cc ares_strcasecmp.c -> ares_strcasecmp_1.o} 
make: *** [all] Fel 1

This is what i've done:

tar zxf node-v0.2.6.tar.gz
cd node-v0.2.6
./configure --jobs=1 --prefix=$HOME
make

Any ideas what i might be doing wrong?

You might try installing again with the official instructions . Alternatively, try one of these methods after you're sure you have all the dependencies installed .

Remember to stop into #node.js and ask questions! Make sure to report back with your findings.
