I do have /usr/local/share/npm/bin in my PATH.
Answer
When trying to install ghost I also get this error. It looks like something is wrong with node-sqlite3, as I've seen other people posting about this error. Once node-sqlite3 is fixed there may be more issues though:
Ghost doesn't currently support node 0.12.x yet. From the README.md:
Ghost requires Node v0.10.x
There is more info at https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/4240
I'll probably just end up installing an older version of node until ghost has a new release.
