All this means (generally) is that there is some C++ module that hasn't yet been compiled against your machine. Node-pre-gyp will try to compile the C++ into Node. However, you need a C++ compiler on your machine for it to do this. For example, if you are running on a mac, it will likely just run on gcc/g++, if you are on a linux box, you will have to install gcc/g++, and if your are on windows you will have to find an alternative compiler.

I assume you are running from windows, and I apologize, because I haven't yet had cause to find a good C++ compiler for windows that works with pre-gyp, but I don't think you should have much of a problem finding one.
