I installed node v0.8.22 with homebrew. I have my node binary in /usr/local/bin/ but I need to recompile a node add-on with node-gyp but it cannot seem to find it in my PATH. I tried running npm install -g node-gyp but it's still not in my path.
I noticed that npm -g installs everything into /usr/local/share/npm/bin/. Does this mean I need to add this to my PATH?
As j_mcnally recommends, you should try adding /usr/local/share/npm/bin/ to your path. There should be a symlink to node-gyp here, which should resolve your problem.

Yes.
