Answer 1

solved.

after I read the README of node-gyp, I'm so sorry to found that I didn't install Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2010,

after install http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-cpp-express ,

npm install dnode success, only with a warning.

here is the issue: https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp/issues/97

Answer 2

Are you sure that you have python 2 ? Because it says that your python is 3...

Can you type python --version in you console.
