 npm. The original source runs "`npm -v`" to do that; that can't possibly
 work in the context of an in-progress MacPorts build since npm won't have
 been installed in its final location by that time and so won't be in PATH
 yet.

 Exactly.

 > Yes, that's exactly how MacPorts works. The build phase runs "make". The
 subsequent destroot phase (which you didn't get to with npm because the
 build phase failed) would run "make install" (for most ports; the npm port
 in fact overrides this usual destroot and writes its own; again I don't
 know why "make install" was not sufficient.)

 In case of npm "make install" doesn't respect DESTROOT but rather installs
 npm right next to the node.js installation. So I had to override the
 destroot phase in the portfile.
