node_buffer.cc:481: error: 'NO_HINTS' is not a member of 'v8::String'

Hello I have node running on my FreeBSD machine, but when i try to
upgrade either via the ports or from source, i get this error:

$ node -v
v0.2.6

if i try to build it from the git repo:

$ cd ~/sandboxes/node
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME

Checking for program cpp : /usr/bin/cpp
...

Checking for fdatasync(2) with c++ : no

$ make
Error expanding embedded variable.

any advice much appreciated.

You are building against a shared libv8 and it's too old.

Use gmake here, not BSD make.

You probably still have the shared (and outdated) libv8 headers
installed and they're being included instead of the headers from the
bundled libv8.

thanks, i updated the ports on freebsd and this issue was fixed couple
of days ago.
