This might be a noob question but I am really stuck and frustrated. Are many npm installations really buggy or I am missing anything?
This time I've tried
npm install grunt-contrib-imagemin -g
and the result is
... npm http 304 http://registry.npmjs.org/cryptiles npm http 304 http://registry.npmjs.org/graceful-fs > [email protected] postinstall /usr/local/lib/node_modules/grunt-contrib-imagemin/node_modules/image-min/node_modules/gifsicle > node lib/check.js events.js:72 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^ Error: connect ECONNREFUSED at errnoException (net.js:901:11) at Object.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:892:19) > [email protected] postinstall /usr/local/lib/node_modules/grunt-contrib-imagemin/node_modules/image-min/node_modules/optipng-bin > node lib/check.js module.js:340 throw err; ^ Error: Cannot find module 'json-stringify-safe' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25) at Module.require (module.js:364:17) at require (module.js:380:17) at Object.

Any help as to what's going on here?
