You are trying to build using a pre-release version of node and node-gyp doesn't know how to get the source code for it. You either need to use --nodedir to point to the source or try a release. node-v4.0.0 was just released if new is what you want (thought [email protected] which should support it hasn't been released quite yet)

[ErisDS]

Ghost only supports node 0.10.x or 0.12.x - I think this issue can be closed :)

[ArturGoldyn]

It definitely can be closed... I just installed Ghost on another machine and forgot about the issue altogether. Thanks a lot anyway!
Or maybe... add some descriptive error messages for novices like me? Symfony is quite good at that, they often return detailed suggestions in command line.
