Node.js NPM install express crashes!

[maiorfi]

Hi.

I just installed .deb package for latest nodejs targeted to armhf architecture, by running:

sudo wget http://node-arm.herokuapp.com/node_latest_armhf.deb

and

sudo dpkg -i node_latest_armhf.deb

Everything seems fine, both on A10 and A20 olinuxino boards, but when I install express via npm (i.e. npm install express) I get an awful error message!

Something like:

...
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/cookie-parser/-/cookie-parser-1.0.1.tgz
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/bytes/-/bytes-0.2.1.tgz
