Update nodejs in cygwin

Question

Sometime back I've installed nodejs via cygwin which shows me the version 0.4.12 when I do node -v in bash. Recently I've installed nodejs with the window installer which shows me the version 0.10.20 in window command prompt.

My Problem is I'm using Claymate for GumbyFramework in cygwin and it requires nodejs version above 0.8.0. How can I update the Nodejs in cygwin to the latest version?

Btw I'm using Windows Vista OS.

Pls. help!! Thanks in Advance..

Please know that Cygwin is not a supported platform. There would be a node version which would break things for you. The latest version that compiles natively on Cygwin is 0.4.12. Though the wiki page mentions some people had success building Node.js 0.10 on MinGW+MSYS.
