Problem Installing

[danfinlay]

I tried installing fresh with both node 0.8.8 and node 0.10.0, and they both install-failing errors:

 node-gyp rebuild

/bin/sh: pkg-config: command not found
gyp: Call to 'pkg-config --cflags libsparsehash' returned exit status 127. while trying to load binding.gyp

flyswatter, irf requires http://goog-sparsehash.sourceforge.net/. Do you have it on your system?
I did not package it into irf so google sparse hash needs to be installed before running npm install irf
On OS X I usually install google sparse hash with http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ :
brew install google-sparsehash

That seems to have done it, thanks! Homebrew worked great as usual. If only it were on all systems, you could add scripts{ "preinstall": 'echo "brew install google-sparsehash"' to the package.json There was one other problem too, the package.json was restricting node to 0.9.0, though 0.10.0 came out last week or so, so I tested it, removed the restrictions, and pushed you that with a new version number so you can push it straight to npm.
