Make error

[Mikael Mollberg]

Hi. I tried installing node.js on my linux machine today but it gave me an error.

Running Linux Mint 17.1, 64bit
I should have all the building prerequisites.

./configure
make
sudo make test

gives me

make -C out BUILDTYPE=Release V=1

Did I do something wrong?

Why not use the pre-compiled binaries?

Don't use sudo.
