1. Your node.js version (that includes npm) is very outdated. Even if you need 0.6 branch, please upgrade to latest first (0.6.22 now). We can not support EVERY node release version, only latest one.
2. If possible, switch to latest node branch 0.8.xx, that will simplify our life :) .

We do use latest ubuntu, and have no problems. Your bug is 99.9% related to npm.

@puzrin He's using prepackaged version of Node.JS: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/nodejs
@phun-ky Consider using nvm which gives you freedom and ability to use the latest npm and node versions. Even ruby (+ ruby gems) have similar problems with prepackaged solutions (that's why people use rvm and rbenv). For me it looks like a bug of prepackaged npm.

@ixti Prepackaged ubuntu's node.js sucks.

@phun-ky use nvm and be happy :) , ixti is right.

from js-yaml.

I must be missing something here. I've installed nvm, and then installed the latest nodejs version (0.8.8), and i still get the same errors:

from js-yaml.

remove node_modules folder, that contains js-yaml, and try again

from js-yaml.

Hm, I removed the js-yaml folder from the .npm folder, and now it works! Thanks for the patience and help!

from js-yaml.

Same problem, and I remove ~/.npm/js-yaml and it works for me too.

Thanks

from js-yaml.

I'm having the same issue as @ramkam.

from js-yaml.

@neagle Can you please provide little bit more details (OS, node version, npm version, trace / debug / error output)? Have you tried solutions posted here? If you feel you have met another issue (that has no solution here), please open a new ticket.

from js-yaml.

@ixti: I posted the error output here: https://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues/3031

Here it is again for reference:

npm not ok

I was finally able to resolve this by updating npm via "sudo npm install -g npm" and clearing npm's cache ("sudo npm clear cache").

Is there a reason older versions of npm choked on this? What's the minimum required version of npm?

from js-yaml.

@neagle that's npm bug with all modules, that have 'bin' directive in package.json . Search "install" keyword in issues tracker, and you will see, that you are not the first.

Something wrong with ./node_modules/.bin/xxx symlinks override. Don't know why it happens sometime.

Thank you for report to npm
