[Pkg-javascript-devel] node-gyp install path question

[Pirate Praveen]

Hi Jeremy,

Any reason node-gyp is installed in /usr/share/node-gyp and not in
/usr/share/nodejs/node-gyp?

I get this error when building npm,

node bin/npm-cli.js cache clean
npm ERR! code MODULE_NOT_FOUND
npm ERR! Cannot find module 'node-gyp/bin/node-gyp'

and the log

5 verbose stack Error: Cannot find module 'node-gyp/bin/node-gyp'
5 verbose stack     at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:547:15)
