Also, I've recently noticed that archlinux ARM has nodejs in their repository. It's usually quite up to date. They support many arm devices including the beaglebone and the raspberry pi. Even if you don't want to switch to archlinux or just want a newer node than the one they are packaging, their PKGBUILD <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD> should be up somewhere to see how it's done for each platform.
