Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Release: 10.04
Codename: lucid
node v0.6.15

npm install profile fails and prints: ... Couldn't find linux-tick-processor.py ...

Did you read «Dependencies» section?

That the locate command can find a copy of linux-tick-processor (or mac-tick-processor on OS X). This is bundled with node.js.

The problem is that linux-tick-processor.py Python script seems to have been replaced by a linux-tick-processor shell script.

There's no more https://github.com/ry/node/raw/master/deps/v8/tools/linux-tick-processor.py (404), but there is: https://raw.github.com/joyent/node/master/deps/v8/tools/linux-tick-processor

So node-profile should be updated accordingly.

atlatl, just in case, have a read of this blog post: http://jleland.blogspot.com/2012/01/profiling-nodejs-on-linux.html

@sedictor - @aadamowski has it right. node-profile is still looking for .py. https://github.com/mape/node-profile/blob/master/scripts/preinstall.sh#L11

Hi,
It hasn't changed yet, so how could one install it?
Does the author want to change it or we have some way to avoid it,...
Thanks,

I have this issue to. I have a workaround:

# inside v8/tools directory:
ln -s linux-tick-processor linux-tick-processor.py

Then update your locatedb (e.g. run updatedb.mlocate or whatever). Then npm install profile will work and seems to run okay. We need a pull request to change the preinstall script to stop blocking npm install from working.
