Just hit this same error (well at least the first screenfull is identical) in Ubuntu 12.04 ARM (BBB) with node v0.11.14-pre. Tried both the npm install and the Git clone. Looks to me like the gyp included here is way old:

ubuntu@ubuntu-armhf:~/Ldrv/memwatch$ npm outdated
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/mocha
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/should
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/node-gyp
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/should
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/mocha
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/node-gyp
Package   Current  Wanted  Latest  Location
should      0.6.3   0.6.3   4.0.4  should
mocha       1.2.2   1.2.2  1.20.1  mocha
node-gyp    0.5.7   0.5.7  0.13.1  node-gyp
ubuntu@ubuntu-armhf:~/Ldrv/memwatch$

I've been able to get past this in other packages by forcing use of a new gyp, but when there are other outdated packages it just gets to be too much hassle. Am I missing some easy way to work around this?

Could we get a version that includes the current node-gyp?

added v0.11 support in this PR #56 :)

@jpgcc use the PR mentioned above for node 0.11 support (#56)

memwatch doesn't seem to be maintained anymore. Last commit was 2 years ago and PRs & issues are not addressed. Perhaps it's time to look for a replacement.

@tjfontaine - did as you requested at #noderoad and tried 0.11.14. This issue seems to be what is restricting myself and others from moving 0.10 --> 0.11.

I guess we can remove memwatch, though.
