Node.js search for memory leak without v8 profiler

Question

I am trying to find a memory leak in a Node.js. application I tried installing the v8 profiler, but it won’t compile ... it looks like a dead project that many people are trying to use but getting the same problem - pretty much from node 0.3.2, just recently.

Does anyone know a way to find memory leaks in a Node.js application without using a v8 profiler? My Eclipse works with V8 remote debugging, but cannot find a way to see memory / heap usage, etc.

Have you looked at https://github.com/felixge/node-memory-leak-tutorial ? The author includes a link in the Readme to a later (April 11th) fork of the v8 profiler.
