I just installed node by cloning the git repo + make && make install. I then installed npm, and used npm to install express (seems like it fetches Connect automatically since it's a dependency). However, when trying to start a simple express example I get the error message:
Error: Cannot find module 'connect/utils'

It seems someone has the same problem here: http://groups.google.com/group/express-js/browse_thread/thread/287086bd30f79cf1/adbb5c669872e45a but the conclusion seems to be that one needs connect installed (which I have). I've checked that I have the following files at least:
/home/yngve/local/node/lib/node/.npm/connect/0.5.8/package/lib/connect/utils.js /home/yngve/local/node/lib/node/.npm/express/1.0.3/node_modules/connect/connect/utils.js
Anyone have a clue?
Resolved
Added
require.paths.unshift('<path_to_node>/lib/node/connect');
But the newest rev. is fixed, so this shouldn't really be necessary (see answer below).
