* epel: epel.mirror.net.in

* updates: centos.mirror.net.in
Setting up Install Process
No package nodejs available.
Nothing to do

I have downloaded the nodejs package from

http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz

and extracted it.

then i did Source code installation.. While using doing

#./configure ,,,, it is showing as the error as

File "./configure", line 433
fpu = 'vfpv3' if armv7 else 'vfpv2'
^

I have googled a lot but i didnt get any solution...

Really?? I doubt that, because when I put "nodejs installation on centos 5" into Google, the VERY FIRST HIT is:

Step-by-step directions. Even tells you how to configure the EPEL repository, and what to install from it, and gives you a startup script.
