Node build failing

I am on Mac OS X 10.6 - I tried installing node via homebrew and it was failing with a non descriptive error message. I decided to clone the node repo and building it within the directory. After running the ./configure command, the output is:

Checking for program g++ or c++          : /usr/bin/g++

'configure' finished successfully (2.180s)

When running the 'make' , the build fails and I get this error:

System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Headers/Carbon.h:70:35: error: SecurityHI/SecurityHI.h: No such file or directory
Waf: Leaving directory `/Users/topica/rails_projects/node/out'
Build failed:  -> task failed (err #1): 
    {task: cxx platform_darwin.cc -> platform_darwin_5.o}
make: *** [program] Error 1

Even though openssl says "not found" the headers were found, but to be safe I re-ran configure with this command: ./configure --openssl-includes=/opt/local/include and openssl but still got the same error.

I did install gcc the other day, the output from gcc -v is:

Using built-in specs.

Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)

Maybe there is some conflict with my xcode install and gcc? Or something else entirely. I've been at it for days and haven't been able to find any answers. Let me know what other information is needed

UPDATE: Here is the console output when running ./configure --openssl-includes=/opt/local/include
