please use pre html tags for the npm output

Sounds more like a npm bug than a Socket.IO bug, I just tried the command and it installed fine. If this issue still occurs give @isaacs/npm a poke

But thanks for reporting it anyways!

[wdavidw]

same here, identical message and only on redhat (work perfect on debian and osx), so while npm install 0.7.8 failed, downgrading with npm install 0.7.7 work. For now, i haven't find any good reasons.

thanks for your great lib,
david

[paintenzero]

Same here, CentOS 5.2. Socket.IO 0.7.7 installed ok.

[giggsey]

Also occurs for me on CentOS 5.something: System Linux 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5

Previous versions installed fine.

[isaacs]

Latest npm release 1.0.25 should work around the issue.

[paintenzero]

1.0.25 doesn't work for me either. The same error ocurred. Looks like something to do with websocket-client in dependencies ...

[frankdenbow]

1.0.25 doesnt work for me either, get similar output

[isaacs]

npm cache clean, try to install it again.

If it fails, post a brand new issue with 100% of the logging output, and a link to a gist of the npm-debug.log file.

It's not the same error unless it's actually the same error.

Hi, I have the same issue with centos56 32bit, socket-io 0.7.9. see npm-debug:

(npm 1.0.25, cache cleaned). Same with OsX 10.6.8 is fine.

Apparently updating tar (#456 (comment) ) resolves it.

Updating tar worked, thank you a lot!
