Oh, I get this one too! I use:

1. node 0.12.0
2. npm 2.5.1
3. OSX 10.9.5
4. gcc Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.57) (based on LLVM 3.5svn)

Anything else I can provide to help?

If I drop back to using v0.10.37, then it works again. So, to anyone else with this problem, I would recommend using NVM to install and then use v0.10.37, install png, then switch back to 0.11.x or 0.12.x and run npm install again. It will pass, and you can continue on.

Not fixed yet for most recent versions of node?
