That looks like the error described here. It's a terminal type issue. Can you try the following and let me know if it works please:

TERM=none npm install lcd

If that doesn't work, what should work is modifying /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js as described here. The error doesn't occur with new versions of node/npm/node-gyp. More info can be found here.
