PhantomJS not executable on Mac OS X in v1.9.1-1

[jamesshore]

The "executable" flag is not set in PhantomJS 1.9.1-1 on Mac OS X. This bug causes PhantomJS to fail with an "EACCES" error when run. Node v0.10.6, npm version 1.2.18. Not tried on any other OS.

It does work properly in 1.9.1-0.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create empty directory and cd into it.
2. npm install phantomjs@1.9.1-1
3. ls -l node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs

Expected behavior: Permissions field containing execute flag: -rwxr-xr-x

Actual behavior: Permissions field does not contain execute flag: -rw-r--r--

Output when running phantomjs:

$ node_modules/.bin/phantomjs

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^
Error: spawn EACCES
    at errnoException (child_process.js:980:11)
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:771:34)

I'm having the same error...

Trying to implement jasmine unit tests running on phantomjs through grunt, this is what I get:

$ node_modules/grunt-contrib-jasmine/node_modules/grunt-lib-phantomjs/node_modules/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^
Error: spawn EACCES
    at errnoException (child_process.js:945:11)
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:736:34)

I'm using phantom version 1.9.1-1 on Mac OSX

The following is the output of running my test task using grunt:

$ grunt test
Running "jasmine:web" (jasmine) task
Testing jasmine specs via phantom
Fatal error: spawn EACCES

I can't run either, but I have a different error.

After a long delay (some type of looping?) on Mountain Lion 10.8.3, installed through npm, I get the error below on running anything (including misc commands like phantomjs --version). This is happening right after the install, and I suspect it might be a permissions error. Let me know if there's any other information I can provide.

child_process.js:794
    throw errnoException(errno, 'spawn');
          ^

I reverted 1.9.1-1 it had some changes to use a globally installed phantom
and it looks like it didn't work properly

This is a duplicate of #71, the solution right now is to revert to 1.9.1.0.

I have the same error on Mavericks.. I can only run phantoms with sudo, is there a solution yet? How do I roll back? Do I need to do a chmod 775?
