I'm attempting to install CartoDD according to the instructions. http://cartodb.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html
To work, you'll need nodejs 0.10. This is exactly what the instructions say:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cartodb/nodejs-010 && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
It install nodejs 0.10 OK, but it gives this error message when trying to install npm:
~$ sudo apt-get install npm
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
npm : Depends: nodejs but it is not going to be installed
Depends: nodejs-dev
Depends: node-request but it is not going to be installed
Depends: node-mkdirp but it is not going to be installed
Depends: node-minimatch but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
There is an npm installation that I think was installed at the same time as nodejs:
~$ npm -v
1.4.3
Is this the right npm version for NodeJS 0.10? I'm not sure if it was there already. This apt-cache output is really more worrying since it says npm is not installed, but I have just executed it:
~$ apt-cache policy npm
npm:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.1.4~dfsg-1
Version table:
1.1.4~dfsg-1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages
There's something else that makes me think there is something wrong with this installation. npm install works for the most part, but later on in the installation, when trying to install the MAPS API, I get this errors:
Package cairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cairo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'cairo' found

I can get rid of that error if I do sudo apt-get install libpango1.0-dev and re-install with npm install, but I'm not sure if this is just a hack and I've done something wrong earlier by not installing the correct npm version.
