I've been struggling witht his for hours, here is the work around.

Node.js does not support node-waf anymore and therefore this project needs to be update. To install this anyways, 1)Install a lower version of node.js. I noticed this project has not been updated ina about a years so I selected node.js v0.6.4 which came out a year ago. 2) re-run installation 3) now that you have the package installed you may upgrade node.js (cross your fingers that it works or you might have to go back down to a lower version. You'll run into problems if you try to reinstall db-oracle).

For mariano- I propose an upgrade to this project to make it get off node-waf to the next build system node.js is using, node-gyp.
