Compiling Node.js with OpenSSL support

Hi guys trying to do a remote install of Node.js, following this set of instructions here

wget http://nodejs.org/dist/node-v0.4.10.tar.gz 
tar -zxvf node-v0.4.10.tar.gz 
cd node-v0.x.x 
./configure --prefix=~/node 
make 
make test 
make install

this should set me up with a nodejs install under ~/node however, during the ./configure --prefix=~/node I encounter the this in the dependency requirement:

node-v0.4.10]$ ./configure --prefix=~/node

[[email protected] node-v0.4.10]$ make
Project not configured (run 'waf configure' first)
make: *** [program] Error 1

I have checked that open ssl is on the box:

node-v0.4.10]$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013

 ~]$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4) (GCC)

Not sure what other dependencies their are, been looking for a config file

Node.js is already packaged for the most popular distributions.

If my guess is right, and you're using CentOS 6 or similar, the following command should work fine: 

sudo yum install nodejs npm --enablerepo=epel
