Installing Socket.u

[msemple]

All the installing was working until I tryed to install socket but
I have been trying to install the socket.io v0.9 all afternoon with no success.
When I Try

sudo npm -g install socket.io@0.9.x

All I get back after about 10 minutes

> ws@0.4.32 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/socket.io-client/node_modules/ws

I am using raspberry pi B v1 ARMv6 with raspbian Debian fully updated
I have instaled node-gyp and reinstalled npm and tried to reinstall socket.
in /var/log/nodejs-socket-io.log

...

I also noticed krulleke had similar problem https://sourceforge.net/p/radiusdesk/discussion/general/thread/fe4467b7/#297a

Is there a way I can build it manually?
Do I have to install socket.io for it to work properly or does it only serve up the log?
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated

Finally cracked it,
I think it was a problem with installing socket.io globally.

What I did:

cd /usr/share/nginx/html/cake2/rd_cake/Setup/Node.js
sudo npm install socket.io@0.9.x
sudo npm install mysql

Will it be a problem not installing it globally, does anything else require socket or mysql?
