The right executable for it to use now would be "nodejs". ** Description changed:
Binary package hint: coffeescript After installing coffeescript and nodejs, running "coffee" should present a REPL prompt. However: $ coffee /usr/bin/env: nodejs: No such file or directory This appears to be because coffeescript is expecting "nodejs" in the path, but the executable provided by the current nodejs package is "node." This makes coffeescript unusable out of the box, although there *is* a workaround. Assuming ~/bin is in the user's path, creating a symlink there will enable the user launch an interactive prompt properly. $ cd ~/bin; ln -s /usr/bin/node nodejs ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: coffeescript 0.7.0-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed May 4 20:26:09 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Beta amd64 (20110330) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: - LANGUAGE=en_US:en - PATH=(custom, user) - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANGUAGE=en_US:en + PATH=(custom, user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: coffeescript UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + + WORKAROUND: install "nodejs-legacy" package. -- 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
