npm Cannot find module tobi-cookie; npm unable to

Question

I'm trying to install express, but I can't get passed this "tobi-cookie" error.

I installed Connect via npm a few days ago, and it said it was missing tobi-cookie.

I then installed tobi-cookie.

Today I was trying to install Express, and got this back:

[root@dsusim:/home/GUIServer]$ npm info express version

I then proceeded to 'npm uninstall' then 'npm rm' tobie-cookie.

Now I'm in big trouble... can't install anything:

Answer 2

Nevermind, solved it with:

git clone git://github.com/isaacs/npm.git
cd npm/scripts
chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh

from NPM, cannot find 'graceful-fs', no matter what I do

and from NPM can't install appjs. Error: Cannot find module 'graceful-fs'

then did

/bin/npm install express -g
/bin/npm install express
