nom install returns with Error: 404 status code downloading tarball

[siennathesane]

I've been working on trying to download contextify as part of another project and I'm getting 404 when it's trying to download the tarball. Node.js is a standard build, just tagged.

lloydm@ubuntu:~$ sudo npm install contextify
npm WARN engine contextify@0.1.13: wanted: {"node":">=0.4.0"} (current: {"node":"0.12.2-vcac","npm":"2.7.4"})
\
> contextify@0.1.13 install /home/lloydm/node_modules/contextify
> node-gyp rebuild

Having the same issue

Probably a blip with NPM.

Would be great to show the URL it is trying to download the tarball from.

I didn't read the output closely enough - this looks like an issue with node-gyp.
