Installation is failing with the message:

npm ERR! [email protected] install: `node-gyp rebuild`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] install script 'node-gyp rebuild'.
npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the iconv package,
npm ERR! not with npm itself.
npm ERR! Tell the author ...

My system is OpenSuse 13.2 and node v0.12.0. Also failed on io.js.

Installing node 0.12 instead of 0.10 fixed this for me.

Signing out of this one. I switched over to using sax-js by isaacs which supports streams just fine and does not require gyp.
