Can't install via node 5.0.0 and npm 3.3.9

[taoeffect]

-> % npm version
{ npm: '3.3.9',
  ares: '1.10.1-DEV',
  http_parser: '2.5.0',
  icu: '56.1',
  modules: '47',
  node: '5.0.0',
  openssl: '1.0.2d',
  uv: '1.7.5',
  v8: '4.6.85.28',
  zlib: '1.2.8' }

Tried: npm install -g truffle

Got:

npm WARN install Couldn't install optional dependency: Error extracting /Users/greg/.npm/solc/0.1.5/package.tgz archive: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/greg/.npm/solc/0.1.5/package.tgz'

As a hack, symlinking ~/.npm/solc/0.1.5 -> 0.1.6-2 gets it to install.

Can you clone the truffle repository from source, and then install from there? The non-released version of Truffle has the solc version bumped to 0.1.6.

$ npm uninstall -g truffle
$ git clone https://github.com/ConsenSys/truffle.git
$ cd truffle
$ npm install -g .

Should work for you. Will release a new version soon.

That seemed to work! 😄

I ran EtherSim (your version) and truffle test on ether-crawler. Most tests passed, there was one exception at the end:

-> % truffle test
Using environment test.

Not sure what to do with that.
