Something wrong or something I am doing wrong?

Managed to resolve the issue, it was due to being root sudo when installing.
Installing as a user with sudo prefix seemed to resolve it…
Not sure if that was the main cause but fixed now, thanks for help.
Will close issue off.
May I know which gcc/g++ version you’re using in your raspberry pi? I saw some people encountered installation problems because they are using wheezy. gcc/g++ 4.8 or above is required for Node.js v4 or higher.
