these are necessary right? e.g. http://c4c.posterous.com/installing-openni-kinect-drivers-and-nite-on

I think you only need to install libusb and OpenNI, but I'm not totally sure, since I have a ton of kinect stuff installed. I need to have time to do a fresh install.

Anyway, try following the OpenNNi install instructions on their GH readme and tell me if that didn't work for you.

hmm I had a weird install process also, it would be nice to try on a fresh computer again to see which things are actually needed

I had to install the kinect drivers and NITE. I'm running on Ubuntu 12.10 and the instructions at http://ramsrigoutham.com/2012/07/08/getting-started-with-kinect-on-ubuntu-12-04-openni-nite-simpleopenni-and-processing/ were helpful to me. They advised installing the binaries from the SimpleOpenNI project.

I also experienced that the SimpleOpenNI installer made this work, which is why that step was added as a recommended solution for people with trouble in the installation procedure: https://github.com/pgte/node-openni/blob/master/README.md#install
