Please check here for detail. I forked this repository from there, and make some changes to make it work with the latest node.js version, which is 0.6.4.

After the changes, I have successfully made compile on Mac OS X 10.7. More tests need to be done on other linux platforms.

To successfully make a build, you will need to run following:

PROTOBUF=<protobuf prefix> /path/to/node/bin/node-waf configure clean build

In my case (Mac OS X Lion 10.7), I ran following scripts:

PROTOBUF=/usr/local/Cellar/protobuf/2.4.1/ node-waf configure 

Make sure you have compliled and install protobuf from google.

Also make sure node cpp header files are located in /usr/local/include/node
