npm install webdriver-sync fails - node.js

Question

I'm running nodejs v0.12.2 on a RHEL 6.5 host. And I'm trying to install the webdriver-sync module with npm.
But when I go to do the install I'm running into this error:
root#206459673 ~]# npm install webdriver-sync
npm WARN package.json assert#1.3.0 assert is also the name of a node core module.
npm WARN package.json sqwish#0.2.2 No repository field.

Could anyone offer some advice on how to get past this error?

I've just verified the suggestion that I made in my comment to the question. Installing an openjdk-devel package will allow you to install this package, as they're the packages that provide the javac command.
On CentOS 6.6 (I imagine CentOS 6.5 is pretty much the same in this regard), the following packages are available from the default repositories (you'll see a different extension than x86_64, if you're on a different architecture):
================== N/S Matched: openjdk-devel ===================
java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64 : OpenJDK Development Environment
java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64 : OpenJDK Development Environment
java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64 : OpenJDK Development Environment
I ran sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel, then the webdriver-sync module from npm installed just fine.
