so the problem is not my freebsd box but the package GeoIP that does not buid on my box?
as when i do this: $ npm install geoip npm WARN node-static@0.5.9 dependencies field should be hash of <name>:<version-range> pairs npm WARN riak-js@0.4.1 package.json: bugs['web'] should probably be bugs['url'] npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/geoip npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/geoip > geoip@0.4.5 preinstall /home/khine/sandboxes/livestats/node_modules/geoip > node-waf clean || (exit 0); node-waf configure build Nothing to clean (project not configured) Checking for program g++ or c++ : /usr/bin/g++ Checking for program cpp : /usr/bin/cpp Checking for program ar : /usr/bin/ar Checking for program ranlib : /usr/bin/ranlib Checking for g++ : ok Checking for node path : not found Checking for node prefix : ok /home/khine 'configure' finished successfully (0.019s) Waf: Entering directory `/home/khine/sandboxes/livestats/node_modules/geoip/build' so, would i need to change this file https://github.com/kuno/GeoIP/blob/master/wscript as is not finding the correct paths to the llibrararies?
