We support installing via binaries if you are running on a 64 bit system. It looks like you are running on a 32 bit system, so the source compile fallback is happening and you are missing a compiler. The g++: Command not found error above is the key problem. You can solve this by doing sudo apt-get install g++ and then rebuilding node-sqlite3. Or changing your system to use a 64 bit version.
