I recently used Chromebrew to install Node v4.4.0 on my Chromebook.
The node install went through great, and all of my packages installed with the exception of gulp-sass, which is dependent on node-sass.
This is the error I get after running npm install node-sass
gyp ERR! build error

Any ideas why I am running into this issue?
that doesn't seem to contain the actual log. all it says is Error: make failed with exit code: 2. but if it's running make, it most likely is trying to compile code, and that requires a C/C++ compiler, and that isn't available under Chrome OS currently. you'd need to install a distro into a chroot like crouton.
