Jenkins build fails when running nodeJS

Question

I have Jenkins set up on a machine with the NodeJS plugin. Sadly, whenever I try to use the plugin in a build, it fails with:

[workspace] $ node /tmp/hudson3477900862350780409.js
FATAL: command execution failed
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "node" (in directory          
"/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/XXX/workspace"): error=2, No such file or directory

When I log into the machine as the jenkins user, I can use node through command line. I also added the path to node (/opt/node-0.6.18/bin) into the Configuration screen for the current working node (which is only one: master).

I've been stuck with this for a while, any help would be highly appreciated.

Cheers!

Well, this isn't the most elegant of solutions, but it worked: I simply made a symlink to from /bin/ to the installation path for node and now the problem's gone.
