Issue with “npm install socket.io” on CentOS 5

Hey guys,

I just ran into some issue installing socket.io using npm on my personal CentOS 5 box.  All the other node modules installed fine – but not socket.io.  After some searching around, I found that it appears to be an issue with the version of tar that came with CentOS 5, which was 1.15.  After upgrading to 1.26, the issue went away.

You can find the original fix here https://github.com/LearnBoost/socket.io/issues/456 from korch towards the bottom of the page.

Hope this helps!
