SocketCAN in node.js

I use ARM board with embedded Linux on it, but it is very limited. Somehow I managed to install node.js and npm. The idea is to send data via CAN bus on button click event from the web page. I have found only one module called "socketcan", but I cannot install it due to following lines:

npm install -g node-gyp
node-gyp configure && node-gyp build

My board fails to execute the first line, that means I can't use the only found CAN tool for node.js. Is there any other possibility to read and write messages on CAN bus from node.js?

Socketcan doesn't work on the lattest Nodejs. I've got the same problem. Just install a Node.js version 0.10.x. For the arm7 you can get it from this page :

Conor O'Neills Page: http://conoroneill.net/

Thanks to Conor O'Neill you can download it on his Page and install socketcan without getting any errors. At the moment, I am struggeling how socketcan works in express-generate. So if someone has clue. I would appreciate it.
