Ghost installation fails at sqlite3

[mtrifilo]

I was trying to install Ghost in Vagrant running Ubuntu 14.04 when this happened:

npm ERR! Linux 3.13.0-45-generic
npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install" "--production"
npm ERR! node v0.12.0

Here's the npm debug log:

I'm very new to development. If I'm missing something simple-stupid, let me know.

After many hours of fruitless poking and prodding, I got everything to install just fine. In my case, it was Node v0.12.0. I used a handy npm package called n (http://davidwalsh.name/upgrade-nodejs) to downgrade Node to v0.10.35 and everything installed without a hitch. The new version of Node was just released, so that must of been culprit. Lesson learned.

Hope this helps anyone with similar issues!

Yes, node 0.12.0 was just released and was not supported when you tried. However I've just tagged a new node-sqlite3 release "3.0.5" that will work once published (in a few minutes).

Great! Thanks for clearing that up.
