Error when installing node.js on ubuntu 12.04- “Pr

问题:

So I'm following a node.js installation process (from a repository) with the following basic steps.

1. git clone https://github.com/joyent/node.git

2. cd node

3. git checkout v0.6.16 #Try checking nodejs.org for what the stable version is

4. ./configure

5. make

6. sudo make install

After trying to run the Makefile in the command line (typing make.), I get the following error that I don't know how to fix.

Project not configured (run 'waf configure' first) error. make: [program] Error 1 *

I'm trying to do this on ubuntu 12.04. Googled for this problem and haven't seen any resolutions. Not looking for a terse response. I'd like specific instructions on how to fix the problem. I appreciate the help and if you give a good response, I'll rate you up!

You are missing the OpenSSL headers for compiling node.js:

• To compile without SSL support: Follow all steps from above, but configure with ./configure --without-ssl
• Install SSL development packages before configure: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
