You need to post the actual error that should be shown before the output you gave. 

[Angelo Chen]

list of errors is quite long. I installed the libxml-devel package, is
that enough?

[Angelo Chen]

looks error started from these lines:

Should be fixed in [1].

Clone the repo and check out the v0.8 branch or download the v0.8
tarball from github. The changes may land in tonight's release (then
again, they may not).

[Angelo Chen]

I did and built it, i got v0.8.3-pre.
the compile error with libxmljs go away, but still get errors:

151 info postuninstall libx...@0.5.4
152 error libx...@0.5.4 install: `node-waf configure build`
152 error `sh "-c" "node-waf configure build"` failed with 1
153 error Failed at the libx...@0.5.4 install script.

so i tried to compile it from source, node-gyp configure, I got
following:

gyp info it worked if it ends with ok

That's a feature (as it were) of node-gyp.

Normally, you'd point it to the proper version with --target 0.8.2 but
that won't work here because the change hasn't landed in a release
yet.

Ok, so do: npm --nodedir /path/to/v0.8/head/you/downloaded install libxmljs 

[Angelo Chen]

I did:

npm -nodedir /root/temp/node install libxmljs

still get:

looks like following in the log started the problem:

There should be two dashes I think: --nodedir 

[Angelo Chen]

you are right, it needs two dashes, but got compiler errors:

It looks like the version of libxml2 that CentOS 5.x ships with (2.6.26) is too old. You need at least 2.6.27 to fix this particular compiler error.
