title: Installing Forever in Debian Lenny (5.0) via NPM - error
body: <p>I'm trying to install forever via NPM, on Debian Lenny (5.0) but <strong>I am receiving the following error during installation, that starts with:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; node-waf configure build
  
  npm ERR! TypeError: options.uid should be a number
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried Googling - but got nothing useful, except <strong>I stumbled across <a href="http://pastebin.com/ZHc831tS" rel="nofollow">this pastebin page</a></strong> with the exact same error which some other poor soul was getting too.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Any Node/forever people out there know what might be going wrong?</strong></p>
