E2BIG when trying to install mathjax plugin

[pcmehlitz]

running a gitbook install ./ on a OS X 10.8.5 machine, npm 2.12.1, gitbook 0.3.4 (global install through homebrew), using the book.json:

{
  "gitbook": ">=2.0.0",
  "plugins": ["mathjax"]
}

I get the following error:

gitbook install ./
info: 1 plugins to install 
info: No version specified, resolve plugin mathjax 
info: install plugin mathjax from npm (gitbook-plugin-mathjax) with version 1.0.0

I also tried to install the plugin globally with npm install gitbook-plugin-mathjax, and while this succeeds it doesn't get picked up by gitbook

Same happens to me. Looks like it happens when plugin requires "npm build" native C++ addons.

npm rebuild for native c++ addons works for me, but it looks weired.
