Missing node-waf when installing nowjs


This seems like it can be a recent problem since there are new versions out for both node.js and nowjs. When trying to install nowjs on ubuntu 11.04 with node 0.7.0-pre and npm

sudo npm install now -g

I get

/bin/sh: node-waf: not found

and so make of node-proxy fails. Reinstalling node gets me nowhere. A little help please? I have tried #nowjs at freenode, but it is silent...

And yes, I have seen this question, but the answer doesn't make sense to me. node-waf is indeed missing, but how would running the same make install on node again remedy that?

Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • Try to install nodejs-dev. node-waf belongs to that package
