On EC2: sudo node command not found, but node without sudo is ok

I added /usr/local/bin to secure_path in /etc/sudoers

$ sudo visudo

Then change this line:

Defaults    secure_path = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

To:

Defaults    secure_path = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

Yes, it is a bit annoying but you can fix it with some links:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/node /usr/bin/node
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/node /usr/lib/node
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/npm /usr/bin/npm
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/node-waf /usr/bin/node-waf

There might be more but that is all I have run across so far. Lack of node-waf will cause some npm installs to fail with a rather cryptic error message.
