node-mongodb-native installation failed

[Beka Iglesias]

Hello,

I have in our system (adtlantida.tv) running node.js as signalling server (in WebRTC arquitecture) and as a chat.I wanto to install node-mongodb-native to connect with mongodeGridFS in kurento arquitecture and kws-media-API library too.
Installation failed trying to install node-mongodb-native using npm install wth github url.My npm-debug.log is this one (below).Some suggestion, please?

Thanks,

Beka

I would not recommend using master as it's a developer branch and thus might break at any time. You are better of installing stable by doing

npm install mongodb

or latest by

npm install mongodb@latests
