title: Can't use node modules installed by NPM despite correct NODE_PATH on a Mac
body: <p>Running on OSX 10.7 (Lion).
  Tried including as much detail here. I (foolishly?) decided to upgrade to the latest NODE and NPM. I git-ed and curl-ed like a good boy, and ended up with this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;node -v
  v0.5.9
  &gt;npm -v
  1.0.99
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>added <code>export NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/node_modules:/usr/local/lib/node</code> which yields:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;echo $NODE_PATH
  /usr/local/lib/node_modules:/usr/local/lib/node
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But every <code>require</code> I have in all my scripts fails in finding any of my modules. It either looks in the local library, or just gives up with an "Error: Cannot find module" message.</p>
  
  <p>I tried variations on the NODE_PATH: with/without the node_modules, with specific directories - nada. </p>
  
  <p>Am I missing some NPM configuration? Am I using it incorrectly? All the scripts worked well prior to the upgrade.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help.</p>
