Is there a precompiled package of latest nodejs that runs on the raspbian OS?

I would like to install it on my Raspberry Pi and I've been compiling for the last 5 hours without any hope of finishing.

You tried cross-compiling? – Alex Chamberlain Sep 14 '12 at 15:29
Are you asking the same as raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/q/1078/86 ? – Alex Chamberlain Sep 14 '12 at 15:32
@alex: maybe its the same question. it might be OS specific, in which case its a different question – mkoryak Sep 14 '12 at 17:33
Totally, setup a Cross compiler to do it. It will save hours of compile time. – Hellonearthis Sep 14 '12 at 18:10

A better approach would be cross-compiling. With that you can compile in your desktop machine and install into the RPi.

Take a look at http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=7493

I was able to compile nodejs without issues using this method:
