NPM not working.. How to install?

[evert]

wow that is a bad bug report. I would hate to get one like that. Anyway, I also have an issue install hashlib with npm.

I'm trying to install 'webshell', which relies on hashlib. The hashlib dependency fails, however. If I try to do the manual install (following the instructions in the readme) it does work, but npm isn't aware of it and tries to install the (failing) hashlib dependency anywhay. Here is the output I'm getting:

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/hashlib
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/hashlib

> hashlib@1.0.1 preinstall /Users/evert/code/fruux/dav/node_modules/hashlib
> node-waf clean || (exit 0); node-waf configure build

Getting the same issue with Node v0.6.15 on both CentOS 5.8 and Fedora 16. Here's my trace:

Getting similar on OSX sudoed, when installing as a dependency for: https://github.com/zsolt/retwis-nodejs

Any update on this, as performant hashing is pretty important.

I have the same problem, maybe it is because node-waf is an external tool that now is deprecated. can you please try to use node-gyp ?

sorry, have no time to support it at the moment
