npm test fails with "Cannot find module '../build/Release/oracle_bindings'"

[nickrussler]

I am on Ubuntu x86, followed all steps of the Readme, and "npm install" gave no error, but when i run npm test (loglevel verbose) i get:

I could fix my problem by installing the latest nodejs version:

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo npm cache clear

I also removed the node-oracle-master folder since it was cluttered with old temp files.
