Cannot run examples or create new projects

[kokujin]

I had posted something similar a day or two back, it was closed without the situation being resolved

Running these commands always ends with errors

 ./node_modules/.bin/skit run ./node_modules/skit/example/helloworld
$ ./node_modules/.bin/skit run helloworld --debug

util.js:556
  ctor.prototype = Object.create(superCtor.prototype, {

This traceback is not in skit. It looks like your dependencies are not installed properly. This seems to be failing in the http-proxy npm module when including eventemitter3. What is your node version and npm version?

Was excited to fire up the tutorial app, but getting the same error. Here's what I have:

$ npm --version
2.1.8
$ node --version
v0.10.33

Then tried upgrading node to v0.12.2, re-installed skit+deps, and got same stack trace.

on my system:

─$ npm --version 1.4.28

─$ node --version v0.10.37

I hit this as well, similar problems here: https://github.com/hipache/hipache/issues/223 https://github.com/jupyter/jupyterhub/issues/237

I think this is due to a change in the version of eventemitter3 that http-proxy depends on, possibly because of this: https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy/commit/607f96c00cbda2a6b881b8ff1db05437dbf4ce77#diff-b9cfc7f2cdf78a7f4b91a753d10865a2

Updating Skit's http-proxy version to 1.11 and running npm install seems to fix.
