I have nearly the same problem in ubuntu 12.10. I installed coffee like this:
sudo sudo apt-get install nodejs npm sudo npm install -g coffee-script But unlike the other people here reported for the 11.04 release, my result in 12.10 is exactly the other way: coffee tries to access 'node' (instead of 'nodejs' in 11.04), but in my filesystem there is only a nodejs (instead of 'node' in 11.04). I get: $ coffee /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory So my workaround in 12.10 is exactly the other way (as suggested for 11.04): $ cd ~/bin; ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs node -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/777554 Title: coffeescript fails to find nodejs in path To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coffeescript/+bug/777554/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
