Browserify fails to require browserify-css when the package is installed globally #48

Hello, It seems that a simple browserify command like below will work fine if browserify-css is installed locally (in the current repository):

$ browserify input.js -g browserify-css -o output.js

But the exact same command will fail if the browserify-css package is installed globally (npm install -g):

$ browserify input.js -g browserify-css -o output.js
Error: Cannot find module 'browserify-css' from '/tmp'

My NODE_PATH is set correctly, and if i run node, i can require('browserify-css') in it without a problem (on both install: local dir and global). I've been scratching my hair around this, can you please give me some lights?

Thank you :)

Browserify transforms should be installed locally, and I'd recommend you use local dependencies for browserify transforms. You can check out this issue at https://github.com/substack/node-browserify/issues/1206 to find a workaround.
