node.js - Error: "pre" versions of node cannot be installed, use the --nodedir flag instead

I'm trying to install opencv for node. I don't think this has anything to do with opencv directly, rather it has to do with node-gyp. I had success in installing opencv on my mac but when I try to do the exact same on Ubuntu server I get the following error after doing 'npm install opnecv':

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/opencv
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/opencv

> [email protected] preinstall /home/demo/node_modules/opencv
> node-gyp rebuild

I also tried downloading the source code and doing 'node-gyp rebuild' with similar results:

Has anyone had this issue before?

I was also able to solve this by upgrading my version of node to a stable version (e.g. not a "pre" version - your version is 0.8.13-pre) with the following:

sudo npm install -g n # install node version manager "n"
sudo n stable # install the latest stable version of node
