Error: EEXIST, mkdir <path>/<user>/<repo>/<version>

Trying to use chai as a dependency for my package i get an error:

component.json

{
  ⋮
  "dependencies": {
    "chaijs/chai": "1.9.1"
  }
  ⋮
}

on shell

$ npm install component@1.0.0rc5 -g
⋮
$ component install
   installed : chaijs/assertion-error@1.0.0 in 632ms

events.js:68
        throw arguments[1]; // Unhandled 'error' event
                       ^
Error: EEXIST, mkdir '/private/tmp/components/chaijs/chai/1.7.1'

With component 0.19.9, it installs correctly. I wonder if the problem is with the component.json from the chai repo, or with the component command.

Any thoughts?

The problem was an outdated version of nodejs.

Updated node to v0.10.26, and now everything works.

what was your node version before?
