watchify global install hangs at SOLINK_MODULE(target) Release/fse.node #265

Closed kaidez closed 9 years ago

kaidez commented 9 years ago

I'm trying to install watchify globally on node v4.0.0 but the install hangs at the SOLINK_MODULE(target) Release/fse.node point. I've tested things by making other global installs and they've installed with no issue...only watchify is a problem. I've tried to fix the issue by:

-uninstalling/reinstalling node v4.0.0. -installing v 0.12.7 and then trying to globally install watchify.

Thx in advance.

Works for me: tchpt

What OS are you using?

@zertosh: thx for responding. I'm on Mac OS 10.10. It may be a machine or network issue, but I'm able to install other stuff globally. Very odd.

Problem solved after a few SO searches. I was getting a lot of 'ECONNRESET' calls the few times the install did NOT hang. Apparently, this was because I was requesting packages over https instead of http. So I followed the instructions here and switched things around like so:

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

Dunno why things hung due a network when installing watchify globally and not another package, but things are fixed.
