CircleCI ignores the version of node specified in circle.yml

My circle.yml set to install the current stable version of node for CircleCI Docs

 machine: node: version: 4.2.2

However, Circle seems to ignore this and use the default default pre-installed node version. Among my error messages:

 npm ERR! node v0.10.33 npm ERR! npm v2.13.5

How to make CircleCI use the version of node specified in this configuration file?

You can only select the version previously installed in the OS. node 4.2.6 is now the default version for Ubuntu 14.

Ubuntu 14 has: https://circleci.com/docs/build-image-trusty/#nodejs

Ubuntu 12 has: https://circleci.com/docs/build-image-precise/#nodejs

I'm not sure what exactly I fixed, but here is my current working CircleCI config. Note For old Ubuntu, a new compiler is required to run the current stable version of node .
