I need to run node 0.8.4 for a project, but I'm having trouble getting it to install. I've installed nvm in order to run it alongside my current system version of node, but I'm getting an error when I run nvm install 0.8.4:
Node.js configure error: No acceptable C compiler found!
Please make sure you have a C compiler installed on your system and/or
consider adjusting the CC environment variable if you installed
it in a non-standard prefix.
./configure

I first tried to make sure I had the Xcode command line tools installed, and it appears that I do. gcc does work. Any ideas how I can get this working?
