title: globally installed npm-packages not working
body: <p>local npm-packages work as predicted, but it seems impossible for me to get globally-installed packages running. It doesn't even throw any error, it's just not doing anything ( express, coffee, etc.. )</p>
  <p>This was not bothering me much until I wanted to use coffee-script.</p>
  <p>things I allready checked ( I'm on Xubuntu 12.04 ):</p>
  <ul>
  <li><p>npm lists it</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>its installed in /usr/local/bin</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>( updated | uninstalled | reinstalled ) npm via  ( npm | apt-get )</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>uninstalled nodejs and did fresh git-rebuild to /opt/bin/node</p>
  <p>=&gt; same thing..</p>
  </li>
  </ul>
  <p>anyone knows a solution?</p>
