Mac can not install socket.io with npm / nodejs?

I was looking for a watch and I still have no answer to this problem. I have mac os x version 10.6.8 I installed nodejs from nodejs.org. Version v0.6.14. I did this in the terminal to check npm: npm --version. The version for npm is 1.1.12, after that I tried npm install socket.io and I got this error ...

To install, use

npm install socket.io -f

It seems like tests require node-waf, but not a library directly. I hope they fix these problems in the end.

It seems that if you are installing an earlier version socket.io, there is no need to run the makescript. I tried the following and was able to install it successfully on my Mac OSX 10.6.8:

npm install socket.io@0.7
