Package: npm
Version: 1.1.4~dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Short summary:
$ npm -g get prefix
/usr
$ sudo npm -g get prefix
/usr/local
I've tried to investigate what's going on, but have gotten lost in the maze of
npm configuration files. I suspect that the tweak that Debian's done to split
the prefix where npm is installed from the prefix where npm installs packages
isn't quite working right.
This is making impossible for a script I'm trying to write to determine where
the global modules are installed.

Hi,
in npm 1.3.10~dfsg-1 the two commands give identical result (/usr/local).
As a side note: there are two "global" places for nodejs modules:
* /usr/local, where globally-installed modules installed by npm go by default
* /usr/lib/nodejs, where debian-packaged modules go
Regards,
Jérémy.
