Brian,

I am getting the same error. I have installed Node v4 and will IPL** later
tonight.

way.

Best practice suggestion for others adopting open source langs on IBM i.
Use tar to save the lang directory and untar to a different one and operate
off that new directory.

--- These steps ~should~ be accurate :-) ---
$ node -v
0.12.9
$ cd /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData
$ tar -cvf /QOpenSys/node/node-0.12.9.tar Node/
$ cd /QOpenSys/node
$ tar -xvf /QOpenSys/node/node-0.12.9.tar

Then have a shell script to easily switch between versions.

----node_ver.sh----
export

PATH=/opt/freeware/bin:/QOpenSys/node/$1/Node/bin:/QOpenSys/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/QOpenSys/usr/bin/X11:/usr/sbin:.:/usr/bin
export LIBPATH=/QOpenSys/node/$1/Node/bin


And invoke it like this:

$ . node_ver.sh node-0.12.9

Good idea, Aaron.. but I think you need to do:

mkdir /QOpenSys/node

before the first tar. I'm just looking through what you're doing here and
it makes sense.. but my PATH variable looks nothing like what you have
there. :) We shall see. I'll probably mess things up.
