Problem

When installing socket.io latest with node V4.0.0 (stable), the following build failure occurs. [code block] This is obviously a compilation problem with upstream packages on `utf-8-validate` and `bufferutil`, never-the-less a release will need to be made with their subsequent releases. I will be adding tickets in these two projects as a result and reference this ticket.

Error Output

error: redefinition of 'template<class T> v8::Local<T> _NanEnsureLocal(v8::Local<T>)'
