It looks kind of like node and/or node-gyp is installed incorrectly.

This looks like a problem with your node installation.

If you have node installed in "/home/stream/Program/node-v0.8.6" why is node-gyp running from "/usr/local/bin/node-gyp"?

Why are you running npm from "~/Program/node-v0.8.6/deps/npm"?

How did you install node? Are other modules with native extensions compiling correctly?

If you want to workaround the issue, you could try "npm install node-gyp". However it seems like you should run a proper install of node instead.

I'm going to go ahead and close this, since no new information has been posted.
