Cannot install node-xmpp or node-expat due to node-gyp rebuild error

I am just starting out with node.js and have hit a wall trying to install node-xmpp and node-expat. It seems node-gyp rebuild is the common cause.

I am on Ubuntu 10.04. After running npm install node-expat, I get the following output:

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/node-expat
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/node-expat
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nan
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/nan

> [email protected] install /root/node_modules/node-expat
> node-gyp rebuild
