I'm using nvm in combination with this guide. Turned out I can't update the npm that came preloaded with a given node/iojs version.

eg.

$ nvm install iojs
$ npm -v
> 2.4.1

$ npm install -g npm
> [email protected] /home/gsklee/.npm-packages/lib/node_modules/npm
$ npm ls --depth=0 -g
> /home/gsklee/.npm-packages/lib
> └── [email protected]
$npm -v
> 2.4.1

Is this a bug?

Do you have a prefix specified in ~/.npmrc? This conflicts with nvm - please remove that and reinstall node, and you'll find everything working.

Closing as a duplicate of #606

More specifically, I'm not familiar with that guide - but npm packages should not be shared between node installations. In addition, global packages should not be requireable - so setting NODE_PATH also should not be necessary.

Please do not follow that guide.
