Thanks @LukasBombach for your version!! It works for me, but only if I switch my version of Python back to the default pre-installed one (v2.7)

I forgot node-gyp doesn’t support Python 3, so it took me a while to figure out why I was still getting errors when running npm install, so just in case someone is having an issue, make sure to check you’re using Python 2.7! (python --version) 😃

Of couse. For now I want to finish Sblendid first, to improve what Noble is lacking, I don’t think I will put my hands on Bleno any time soon though.
