Gulp: /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

[dmp42]

Hi,

Running Ubuntu 14.04 and nodejs 0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1

The node binary is called nodejs (and there is no node binary) which makes gulp fail https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/master/bin/gulp.js#L1

The following would fix it (unfortunately, there is no simpler hack AFAIK):

#!/bin/sh
':' //; exec "$(command -v nodejs || command -v node)" -- "$0" "$@"

What do you think?

I guess this is a lost cause.

Closing this :-(

I also did face same issue. This is how I solved it.
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

just in case someone came here looking for solution to this problem.
