sometimes when running "npm install" on a machine which has already had npm before, there will be an install failure. various errors appear. the modules don't all get installed. you might refer to this as an "upgrade" process, because the version of node might be new, also.
many times, removing the .npm and the .node-gyp folders will fix it. we are getting to the point now, where we'd like "npm install" to be fairly automated, and not require manual intervention. In light of the above comments, the questions are: - should I script the removal of .npm and .node-gyp folders every single time? - are .npm and .node-gyp folders always located in the same place in the filesystem? - shouldn't "npm install" have a flag, or built in functionality, to fix these errors by itself, without my intervention? -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
