After doing “npm install forever” in a VirtualBox instance you may get an error like the following. This is caused by running the install from a folder shared with the host machine. Certain file operations fail when crossing the machine/file system boundary in VirtualBox.

Hello, I am trinyg to run ClockworkMod Tether on my Xubuntu 11.10, and I am trinyg to get past the message Please compile the included node.js package! or something fairly similar. I’ve found several websites like this one, but my problem is that I don’t have internet on my Ubuntu [hence why I'm trinyg to tether]. As of right now, I have Windows Vista [what I'm typing on now] and my phone which is an Android 2.2.1 [the phone I'm trinyg to tether]. Is there anything I can do on either of these to fix the message? I also tried using EasyTether on my Ubuntu but that didn’t seem to work without internet either.
