Errors when linting Angular 5 project.

[dgsmith2]

When I added rxjs-tslint@^0.1.1 to my Angular 5 project I started getting strange errors. Both VSC and IDEA reported things such as name collisions on import statements. Manually running ng lint resulted in a series of type errors, such as the following, that ultimately lead to JS running out of heap memory.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'kind' of undefined

I think it has to do with rxjs-tslint depending on "typescript": "~2.8.1" and Angular 5 depending on "typescript": "2.6.x". Folks who encountered this error in other situations ended up altering the version of Typescript they used.

The only solution I could come up with was to remove my dependency on rxjs-tslint. Am I missing an alternative?

I guess this "issue" ends up being more of a "heads up" because the README has you install rxjs-tslint globally--not meant to be a devDependency.

Yes, correct. Please, use the global executable otherwise there could be mismatched dependencies.
