Can you post the output of bash -c "echo \$PATH"? It's possible that you didn't run export PATH, so node-gyp doesn't have node available in your path.

Sorry, I didn't see that you're trying to use sudo npm install. Make sure that you install both Node and NPM without sudo (since sudo npm install doesn't export your path). This script may solve your problem, but you really want to have Node and NPM installed correctly.

I tried

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/node /usr/bin/node
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/node /usr/lib/node
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/npm /usr/bin/npm
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/node-waf /usr/bin/node-waf

and

node-and-npm-in-30-seconds.sh

but it still doesn't work

[christianbundy]

Do you have /usr/bin/ and /usr/lib in your path?
