I am trying to build rethinkdb from source and hitting on this error:

npm WARN engine amdefine@0.1.1: wanted: {"node":">=0.4.2"} (current: {"node":"0.13.0-pre","npm":"2.11.3"})

Seems like an appropriate version of npm is missing. Which version do I need? How should I diagnose this problem?

It seems the problem is not RethinkDB, but the vinyl-fs (an npm module) which doesn't seem to like the fact that you're using a version of node with -pre. Perhaps you can try installing nvm and using 0.12 to install RethinKDB?
