can't npm install bcrypt in my docker image - node.js

Question

I'm trying to get my Sails.js app up and running using the standard node Docker image but the build is failing when it tries to npm install bcrypt.
> bcrypt#0.8.0 install /myapp/node_modules/bcrypt
> node-gyp rebuild
gyp WARN install got an error, rolling back install

Alternatively sometimes it simply fails as follows:
> bcrypt#0.8.0 install /myapp/node_modules/bcrypt
> node-gyp rebuild
Killed
And sometimes it just hangs indefinitely at
> bcrypt#0.8.0 install /pos/node_modules/bcrypt
> node-gyp rebuild
My Dockerfile looks like:
FROM node:0.10.33
# copy the source files into the image
ADD . /myapp
# Define working directory.
WORKDIR /myapp
# Install node-gyp as global and ensure it's all clean and tide
RUN npm install -g node-gyp && \
node-gyp clean && \
npm cache clean
# Install project dependencies
RUN npm install
# Expose sails port (still in development mind you)
EXPOSE 1337
# Define default command.
CMD ["node app"]
Things I've tried
this post in another Stackoverflow thread suggested I should also RUN apt-get -y install g++ but adding that to my Dockerfile made no difference and it just reports that g++ is already the newest version.
this post suggested I ensure openssl is installed so I added RUN apt-get install -y openssl that that also reported openssl is already the newest version.
I've also tried RUN apt-get install -y build-essential but that too reports that it's already the latest version.
I've seen suggestions that Node needs to be installed as a legacy version, which is something the standard Node image ought to be responsible for, if necessary I believe, so I've also reported this as an issue with the docker-library/node project.
In the meantime, what else ought I try?

Answer 1

Thanks to everyone whose advice in the comments and answers steered me to my conclusion.
The issue was either some sort of corruption within my docker install, or some sort of incompatibility between dvm and fig, but I solved this problem as follows
dvm down
brew remove fig
brew remove dvm
brew remove docker
brew cleanup --force -s
rm -rf ~/VirtualBox VMs/boot2docker-vm
brew install docker
brew install boot2docker
boot2docker init
boot2docker up
echo export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1 > ~/.bash_profile
echo export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=~/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm > ~/.bash_profile
echo export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://$(boot2docker ip 2>/dev/null):2375 > ~/.bash_profile
export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://$(boot2docker ip 2>/dev/null):2375
brew install fig
fig build web
and voila - it worked.
The trick really seemed to be that I had a couple of conflicting bits of crud in my original boot2docker-vm from having it installed originally via the installer and then later by homebrew and boot2docker colliding somehow with dvm. By wiping it all back to bare metal and rebuilding from scratch it all worked nicely.
