Can't use node modules installed by NPM despite correct NODE_PATH on a Mac

Question

Running on OSX 10.7 (Lion). Tried including as much detail here. I (foolishly?) decided to upgrade to the latest NODE and NPM. I git-ed and curl-ed like a good boy, and ended up with this:

>node -v
v0.5.9
>npm -v
1.0.99

added export NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/node_modules:/usr/local/lib/node which yields:

>echo $NODE_PATH
/usr/local/lib/node_modules:/usr/local/lib/node

But every require I have in all my scripts fails in finding any of my modules. It either looks in the local library, or just gives up with an "Error: Cannot find module" message.

I tried variations on the NODE_PATH: with/without the node_modules, with specific directories - nada.

Am I missing some NPM configuration? Am I using it incorrectly? All the scripts worked well prior to the upgrade.

Thanks for any help.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Finally solved it by installing modules locally into the specific node directories.
