If I use require('some_module_installed_global') in my node.js projects, then: Error: Cannot find module 'some_module_installed_global'

Which modules install in /opt/local/lib/node_modules/, but $NODE_PATH not properly sets.

If you want to require() something in your project, then you're supposed to `npm install` the module locally, not globally, or else use `npm link`. Ask in a nodejs support venue if you have further questions. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37013#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
