First of all I wish to thank you for this useful module.
Unfortunately I am experiencing the issue in the object while launching node-gyp configure but I am not able to find where the syntax error lies.
Would you please be so kind to put me on the right path?
Many thanks in advance

can you paste the contents of your binding.gyp file?

You have a syntax error somewhere in your binding.gyp file. Make sure it's valid gyp (i.e. python) syntax.
