[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#693944: node-less: lessc cannot find lessc_helper

[Martey Dodoo]

Package: node-less
Version: 1.3.1~20121105-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

I installed node-less 1.3.1~20121105-1 and attempted to run lessc. I received
the following output:

lessc: no input files


module.js:337
    throw new Error("Cannot find module '" + request + "'");
          ^
Error: Cannot find module '../lib/less/lessc_helper'
    at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:337:11)
    at Function._load (module.js:279:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:359:17)
    at require (module.js:375:17)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/bin/lessc:99:5)
    at Module._compile (module.js:446:26)
    at Object..js (module.js:464:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:353:32)
    at Function._load (module.js:311:12)
    at Array.0 (module.js:484:10)

I believe that this is because lessc is looking for lessc_helper in
"/usr/lib/less/lessc_helper". On my system, it is located at
"/usr/lib/nodejs/less/lessc_helper".
