2014-02-23 new machine, leading up to ENOENT ERR

some background for [my stackoverflow question on enoent err](http://stackoverflow.com/q/21964874/3290121)

below are all the essential commands that I ran on a brand new Ubuntu Server 12.04.3, so you can see exactly what led up to the ENOENT ERR, and where I have installed various packages.



#
echo prefix = ~/local >> ~/.npmrc
mkdir local
curl -O https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh
  sudo sh install.sh

    npm cannot be installed without nodejs.
    Install node first, and then try again.

    Maybe node is installed, but not in the PATH?
    Note that running as sudo can change envs.

    PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

#
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
  ./configure --prefix=~/local

    Node.js configure error: No acceptable C compiler found!

            Please make sure you have a C compiler installed on your system and/or
            consider adjusting the CC environment variable if you installed
            it in a non-standard prefix.

make install
    installing /home/ubuntu/local/lib/node_modules/npm/*

    symlinking ../lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js -> /home/ubuntu/local/bin/npm

    updating shebang of /home/ubuntu/local/bin/npm to /home/ubuntu/local/bin/node
    installing /home/ubuntu/local/include/node/

    At this point `node` is still not found
    
echo "export NODE_PATH=$NODE_PATH:/home/ubuntu/local/lib/node_modules" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

    `node` stil not found

echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc && . ~/.bashrc

    Finally it's found :D
