I think it probably has to do with the node life cycle. It is linking the binary before it does the postinstall step. I'm going to investigate to see if that's the case.

Ok it looks like NPM is using your .gitignore as a base for the .npmignore file, and thus ignores /lib. If you add a blank .npmignore file into the root of your application, everything should work.

@jorisbontje Trying that now.

Thanks @jorisbontje! I would not have found that on my own.
