Wrong path for node-waf
Closed this issue · 6 comments
I'm having issues installing topcube from npm. It looks like the package is broken. It tries to run node-waf in "/home/tim/Code/topcube/build". Here's the output;
npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm info using npm@0.3.18
npm info using node@v0.4.7
npm info fetch http://registry.npmjs.org/topcube/-/topcube-0.0.6.tgz

npm not ok
Strange. There is nothing with hard-coded paths anywhere in the git repo. npm must have grabbed some waf cache file when publishing the package. You can try installing from source while I work on my end to see why it's acting weird.
I got it to compile manually. Too bad the libwebkitgtk-dev package on Ubuntu doesn't have WebGL support yet. :(
Any possibility of support for fullscreen switching and setting the tiltlebar text to match the <title /> element at some point in the future?
I have node v0.4.11 & npm v1.0.27. Now I execute following command :
npm install pcap
Then I get following output:
likewin@manju-desktop:~$ npm install pcap

Can you please help me in solving the problem of "Checking for node path : not found" ?
Thank you very much in advance
I don't know what "node path" is, but I don't think it's an error to be missing. It's normal for program configures to be missing some things in some valid configurations.
I'm feeling happy to say that I could solve the below problem:
"Checking for node path : not found"
by setting the value for the variable NODE_PATH in terminal as follows:
export NODE_PATH="/usr/local/lib/node"
then why dont you clone the repo, fix the problem and submit a pull request.
