build failure on "wheezy"

[ryanseghers]

I'm trying to get going with WiringPi on my Raspberry Pi 2. I have a build failure. Am I doing something wrong?

Here is the failure:
pi@raspberrypi ~/src/testNpmWiringPi $ npm install wiring-pi

/bin/bash ./install.sh

This failure happened on the "wheezy" build of raspbian. I upgraded to 4.4 "jessie" and now it's working.
