1. Its not socket.io that causes this error but a dependency. 2. Its probably not even an error as building native extensions for the dependency in question here is optional. 3. You should install modules locally, not globally unless they are command line apps.
If npm exited with OK it was all fine and dandy. But i dont see an okay or a not okay from the output you posted so I imagine you didnt include it and the modules were correctly installed On Aug 30, 2013, at 17:10, Mikael <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all. > > I've got some major problems with installing certain NPM packages on my > Windows workbox.
