you can switch between 2.6 & 2.7 using:

sudo update-alternatives --config python

did this to use 2.6 python as shown on https://github.com/bitpay/copay troubleshooting section.

still error outs.

nodejs/node-gyp#363 (comment)
reading this and tryin the solutions didn't help niether.
but this is like the same issue exit code 2 and node-gyp rebuild is the issue.

rm -rf node_modules/
npm install

any help with this would be great.

Hi, I had a similar error, but was able to solve it according to this issue over at insight. Seems to come down to insight not supporting nodejs v0.12.x (0.10.x only).

[braydonf]

That's correct, Node.js 0.10.x is only support with the current master branch. The updates for Bitcore Node + Insight API will work with Node.js 0.12.

[braydonf]

No longer relevant. Also note, Node.js v4.2 and 0.12 are now currently supported.
