Re: [nodejs] Socket.io, answer WELL, don't lock.

[Dan Milon]

You didnt post any issues, but posted a "plz help me" question on node's
issue tracker. Issues are bugs/unexpected behaviour/new
features/proposals, not questions.

That's why there's this mailing list for questions/discussions, but this
attitude wont get you a long way.

I'm sorry for the attitude, but I didn't even know what a mailing list is. I found it through Google after about 40min and I also didn't know much about the path variable.

Also, why isn't it a bug then? I've never seen someone else have it. I can install it fine on another machine.

Personally I can't help you with that issue, but you might be luckier if
you post this on the socket.io mailing list.

On the Node.js home page, the Community link says "Mailing lists,
blogs, and more". Clicking on it takes you to a page with a section
named "Mailing List".

That said, the original error log you posted contains this:

ERR! Failed at the w...@0.4.22 install script.
ERR! This is most likely a problem with the ws package,
ERR! not with npm itself.
ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:
ERR! node install.js
ERR! You can get their info via:
ERR! npm owner ls ws

which should have sent you to the 'ws' issue tracker right away.

Well I've been waiting on there for a couple of days and I don't have the time to wait: https://github.com/einaros/ws/issues/127

You could look into the code and figure out the problem yourself.

The mailing list is the place where you can get support. The node.js issue tracker is the todo list for the node maintainers. Would you want me to add random things to your todo list? And if I then got all upset because you didn't do what I asked, what would your response be?

So, for an answer

> It looks like node fails to find cmd.exe. Try adding "c:\windows\system32" to your path (every windows puts it there by default, so you apparently you removed it yourself.)

Did you try to add c:\windows\system32 to your path?

@Andreas, I recommend reading this: http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html, it covers how to approach technical communities with these types of problems. There are plenty of folks willing to help when you ask the question in the right way, in the right place.
