I'm trying to run npm install on an Ubuntu 14.04 VPS but it keeps failing on installing karma. The command npm install is executed from a Jenkins build step but also fails from the command line when I log in as jenkins user. The Jenkins server invokes a deployment through Capistrano on another VPS (production server) which is, as far as I know, as good as identical to the first one.
Strangely, npm install is also run after deployment on the production server (the second VPS) and here it runs fine.
Here's the error:
ws@0.5.0 install /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/bitbuilders-cms/node_modules/karma/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/engine.io/node_modules/ws (node-gyp rebuild 2> builderror.log) || (exit 0) Killed
When I check builderror.log in this directory it says:

When I run node-gyp rebuild it gives me the same output.
Again, on the other machine it runs fine.
They both run:
- ubuntu 14.04
- io.js 2.0.2
- npm 2.9.0
- GNU Make 3.81
- python 2.7.6
- gcc 4.8.2
- node-gyp 1.0.3
- nvm 0.25.2
What I have tried so far
I globally installed node-gyp (npm install -g node-gyp) and running node 0.12.3. Before installing I ran:
- npm cache clean
- rm -rf node_modules
- rm -rf ~/.node-gyp
On the VPS where npm install gives this error I cannot run any gulp tasks aftwerwards since it complains it cannot find certain npm modules. On this machine npm install is run as user jenkins.
On the other VPS where npm install runs fine, the subsequent gulp task also runs without errors. On this machine, npm install is executed through Capistrano as user www-data. They both use shell /bin/bash.
Unfortunately the problem remains.
What is going wrong here? Any help is greatly appreciated!
