NodeJS install error on CentOs 6.3

I had Node.js installed on my server. Yesterday, I deleted it with yum erase nodejs and now I'm trying to install the new Node.js. I've tried yum install nodejs-compat-symlinks npm but it ends with the error:

Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test

Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/bin/node conflicts between attempted installs of nodejs-compat-symlinks-1-1.el6.noarch and nodejs-0.10.5-3.el6.x86_64

file /usr/include/node conflicts between attempted installs of nodejs-compat-symlinks-1-1.el6.noarch and nodejs-devel-0.10.5-3.el6.x86_64

How I may install Node.js on server now?

P.S. I installed Node.js with this manual:

wget http://patches.fedorapeople.org/oldnode/repocfg/el/nodejs-stable-release.noarch.rpm yum localinstall --nogpgcheck nodejs-stable-release.noarch.rpm

Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/nodejs-stable.repo. Comment out the mirrorlist and use for [nodejs-stable] the baseurl: baseurl=http://patches.fedorapeople.org/oldnode/stable/el$releasever/$basearch/

and for [nodejs-stable-source] also comment out the mirrorlist and use for [nodejs-stable-source] the baseurl: baseurl=http://patches.fedorapeople.org/oldnode/stable/el$releasever/SRPMS/

It looks like you have a conflicting package that you didn't erase with Node when you ran yum erase nodejs. nodejs-devel-0.10.5-3.el6.x86_64 is a completely separate package.

http://pkgs.org/centos-6-rhel-6/epel-testing-x86_64/nodejs-0.10.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm.html http://pkgs.org/centos-6-rhel-6/epel-testing-x86_64/nodejs-devel-0.10.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm.html

Try running yum erase nodejs-devel, and then try to yum install nodejs-compat-symlinks npm again.
