Cannot install npm package canvas

I've been trying to install the npm package canvas all day. I ran:

sudo npm install canvas

but i get:

[email protected] install /home/mark/Programming/canvas_npm/node_modules/canvas

node-gyp rebuild

The specific problem causing the error appears to be:

fatal error: nan.h: No such file or directory

I have installed Cairo using homebrew. I ideas why i cannot install canvas?

Looks like its an issue with canvas version 1.2.24. I solved by installing 1.2.23

My solution (for Ubuntu) was to install the nan package:

npm install nan

Then copy the nan headers to /usr/include/

sudo cp node_modules/nan/nan*.h /usr/include/
