[Andrew Wooldridge]

the install seems to work,but when I run bin/start.sh I get this error:

node.js:134

        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick

        ^

I've seen one other user face the same issue. Does the work-around
listed in the other thread about expat fix this?

This worked for me (assume your github repo is in a different path):

/scratch/github/repositories/ql.io/modules/engine/node_modules/
xml2json/node_modules/node-expat/build:$ ln -s Release default

Unfortunately neither solution seems to be helping. Using node v0.4.11 and mac os 10.6.8

What do contents of

/usr/lib/node_modules/ql.io-app/node_modules/ql.io-console/node_modules/xml2json/node_modules/node-expat/build

look like? I have the same Mac and node, and ls -R shows the following

ls -R /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ql.io-app/node_modules/ql.io-console/node_m
