Looks like there is a few problems with the gif package dependency at the moment (requires node 0.8, broken c++ source).

As a heads-up to get going until the gif problem is fixed, it might be worth sharing the workaround I wound up with:

as the readme suggests, use node 0.8 (or possibly 0.9)
clone the node-gif package repo
modify /path/to/nodegifrepo/src/gif_encoder.cpp adding "#define FALSE 0" somewhere near the top to fix the compile error.
manually compile: cd /path/to/nodegifrepo/ ; node-gyp configure ; node-gyp build
modify vnc-over-gif.js to require the compiled gif.node binary directly: require('gif') => require('./path/to/nodegifrepo/build/Release/gif.node')

(on ubuntu 12.04, node 0.8.23, vnc-over-gif 0.0.2 (with gif 2.0.2 dependency))
