Answer 1

You have two different problems here.

One is that you are using quite an old node and npm. The digital ocean guide you are following is a bit out of date. Instead of building your own node version 0.10.4, you should update to a new packaged node 0.10.35 by following the guide here: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions#usage-instructions-1

sudo -s curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup | bash - yum install -y nodejs yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' ctrl+D

Then update to the latest npm

sudo npm install -g npm@latest

That will fix your first problem, an out-of-date node and npm. Now on to your second problem, which is that you can't build protagonist. You are running into an internal compiler error:

CXX(target) Release/obj.target/libsnowcrash/snowcrash/src/snowcrash.o g++: Internal error: Killed (program cc1plus) Please submit a full bug report. See <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> for instructions. make: *** [Release/obj.target/libsnowcrash/snowcrash/src/snowcrash.o] Error 1

If this persists even after you have updated node and npm, then the most likely causes are a hardware error, a corrupt compiler or utility, or a very serious problem in the protagonist package. Please let me know, and I will try to help you troubleshoot it further.
