xml2json installation issue

[guaka]

@MrTweek: I try to play around with your meteor-stuff, but I couldn't really get it running. I tried this on 2 machines that didn't have any meteor/node/npm/coffeescript running before.

The meteor app is running, but I can't convert the xml dump to json.

What I did:

• installed meteor via the script on their website.
• installed npm via apt-get.
• npm install xml2json

However, when I run your xml2json.coffee, I am getting these errors: $ ./xml2json.coffee Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/node_expat.node'

[some more backtrace...]

I tried installing node-expat and xml2json via apt-get, but no difference.

One thing I found strange: in node_modules/ there is only xml2json, while node-expat is in node_modules/xml2json/node_modules/node-expat

I kind of got it running by patching node_expat.js. I changed var expat = require('../build/Release/node_expat.node'); to var expat = require('node-expat');

Doesn't look like the right way to do it, but for now it works.

Could be good to look into package.json. Current version is just an attempt at learning more about this file :)

Ok, finally it works properly. Naively, I installed node.js, npm and coffeescript from the ubuntu-repository. They hopelessly outdated. I removed them and installed everything manually and that solved all problems.
