I have just built a server and installed NodeJS (compiled from source). I can install global packages using npm but can't install anything locally:
$ npm install restify

I am running the current versions of node and npm:
$ node -v
v0.10.26
$ npm -v
1.4.3

I am having the same issues with the request package as well. I am the owner of the folder and all the files int contains. Does anyone know what is going on?
