I'm just going through an Angular JS tutorial and had this issue, but their docs suggest it isn't a problem:

"We often see an npm WARN message after a series of gyp ERR! messages. Ignore them. A package may try to re-compile itself using node-gyp. If the re-compile fails, the package recovers (typically with a pre-built version) and everything works."
