problem with finding socet.io on Mac

[DmytroKopylov]

Hello! I try to run demo code from http://socket.io/ and got error: node.js:63 throw e; ^ Error: Cannot find module 'socket.io' at loadModule (node.js:275:15) at require (node.js:411:14) at Object. (/Users/dmytro/Dev/helminth/server.js:2:6) at Module._compile (node.js:462:23) at Module._loadScriptSync (node.js:469:10) at Module.loadSync (node.js:338:12) at Object.runMain (node.js:522:24) at Array. (node.js:756:12) at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:55:22) at node.js:773:9

When i run npm ls installed i got this:

npm info it worked if it ends with ok npm info using npm@0.2.16 npm info using node@v0.2.6 npm@0.2.16 =isaacs active installed latest remote A package manager for node package manager m socket.io@0.6.8 =rauchg =Tim-Smart active installed latest remote The cross-browser WebSocket npm ok

So socet.io is installed. What can I do to fix this problem? Thanks!

Have you tried installing and requiring any other packages via npm? Is socket.io the only one failing?

Happening to me too, I've got express, jade, plenty of others installed via npm.

$ node -v
v0.2.6

$ npm install socket.io
npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm info using npm@0.2.3-6
npm info install socket.io@0.6.8
npm info activate socket.io@0.6.8
npm info build Success: socket.io@0.6.8
npm ok

$ node
> var express = require('express')
> var io = require('socket.io')

I installed node with homebrew, have two versions 0.2.0 and 0.2.6. It appears that npm is installing to the 0.2.0 directory.

Eh, just got it installed in the right spot, other packages work, socket.io still not :(

Works for me on Mac OS X 10.6 -- but I'm using node 0.3.3-pre. I wonder whether it would work if you installed 0.3.3-pre?

EDIT: Works for 0.3.8-pre as well.
