Can someone please let me know what's going on here?

I'm using node v0.5.0-pre

Tried on node v0.4.8 and it also failed.

On Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit

Actually, it's working on v0.4.8 - I just had to delete the node-compress directory, download again and reinstall.

I'm also not able to install compress on osx Lion/Node v0.5.3 which is causing issues with the 'gzippo' library.

Here's the stack trace:

May be related to this change in node v0.5.x:
nodejs/node-v0.x-archive@4ef8f06#src/node_events.h

Getting the same error as bdicaskon.

Fresh make && make install of 0.5.x

And now I can confirm that compress installs correctly with 0.4.x versions of node after reinstalling (again).
