installation problem about node-xml2json

[c4milo]

hm, that's weird, node path message is just a warning. It seems to be an issue with npm or the installation process. Try this:

/pro/test$ npm install node-expat

and please verify that you have node-expat in /pro/test/node_modules

[c4milo]

also make sure you have libexpat installed in your machine

I have libexpat1 installed on my ubuntu 11.04 and I also tried installing node-expat, with the same warning / error :

Same Cannot find module '../build/default/node-expat' error. From where exactly is that search issued?

Besides, the node-expat/build folder does not contain a default folder :

jan@jan:~/pro/test$ ls node_modules/node-expat/build/
c4che  config.log  Release
jan@jan:~/pro/test$ ls node_modules/xml2json/node_modules/node-expat/build/

nodejs version? npm version? please

[jankeromnes]

They were in my first post :) node v0.5.6-pre and npm 1.0.27.

[c4milo]

uh, sorry hehe i've been kind of doing 50 tasks at the same time. Hm, is there any reason why your'e not using a stable version of nodejs?

[c4milo]

I'm using nodejs 0.4.11 and xml2json installs okay.

[jankeromnes]

In this case my bad, I like things cutting edge. I'll try with a stable version soon and let you know how it works out.

[c4milo]

I'll assume this worked out. Closing
