I get the same error on Mac OS X Mavericks.

I was able to install from @piotras fork. But running the tests (or any examples) returns the following error:

module.js:356
  Module._extensions[extension](this, filename);
                               ^
Error: Symbol girepository_module not found.
    at Module.load (module.js:356:32)

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to node addon building but I think this is do to a missing usage of the NODE_MODULE macro which is required in node > 0.10.0. It might as simple as adding NODE_MODULE(girepository, init); to src/init.cc, but I'm not really sure. Once I fully wrap my head around node addons and node-gyp I'll tackle this and make a pull request. But if anyone else wants to tackle it before then or provide insight that would be awesome!

My fork is now semi-working for me, I can run some examples but the tests are exploding at the moment. Not satisfied that I did things correctly yet (so might be awhile before I make a pull request) but if anyone is looking to install on Ubuntu with recent node versions then my fork is the place to start. Once I get tests passing I'll make a pull request.
