When going through the initial instructions on a debian setup you need some additional dependency's which are not stated in the instructions maybe add something like:
You need the libvirt-dev on debian stable ( apt-get install libvirt-dev ) and maybe the libicu-dev package ( apt-get install libicu-dev )
After download these packages go to the cloned repo and run "npm install nan"
now you can continue building using the gyp command ( node-gyp configure )

@Xantios you're right, the instructions are out of date. Specifically they should just be:
$ sudo apt-get install libvirt-dev
$ git clone git://github.com/hooklift/node-libvirt.git
$ cd node-libvirt
$ npm install
$ node-gyp configure
$ node-gyp build
Or something to that effect. Would you be interested in cleaning up the docs and submitting a PR? Contributions are more than welcome
