All,

I have recently switched my dev environment from windows7 to Ubuntu12 and everything has been running smoothly except coffee-script. I have executed this exact sequence of commands:

sudo apt-get install nodejs  
sudo apt-get install npm  
//checked that both are their latest versions  
npm -g install coffee-script

when I do this I see only the following lines

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/coffee-script  
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/coffee-script  
/usr/bin/coffee -> /usr/lib/node_modules/coffee-script/bin/coffee  
/usr/bin/cake -> /usr/lib/node_modules/coffee-script/bin/cake  
coffee-script@1.4.0 /usr/lib/node_modules/coffee-script

which coffee and which cake point to /usr/bin/coffee|cake but the commands actually do nothing at all.

I am at a loss.

Please send help!

    All,

    I was not able to resolve this issue and wound up manually installing an older version of node by building it and not using sudo. I think did the same for coffee-script. It is now working correctly though I’m not entirely sure where the problem came from.
