npm install fails building inotify
I'm not sure if this is a node-dev issue or a inotify issue?
$ npm install dev -g

That's inotify. Try to install it separately? Maybe your node is not 0.4.8 ?
Thanks for the quick reply, I've upgraded to node 0.4.8.
npm install inotify -g gives the same error so it's defiantly an inotify issue.
Do they have an issue tracker?
Same problem here on OSX installed node 0.4.8 though ports (did manual install before with same result) installed npm
Installed several other npm packages with no problems.
When installing node-dev same error as dalejefferson described...
hey, inotify is a linux kernel library, meaning that you won't be able to compile node-inotify in OSX.
Yeah, I believe, we need a replacement for Mac using kqueue or maybe FSEvents API (if possible).
Seems like you can provide directory path to fs.watch: http://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_watch_filename_options_listener
Doesn't it emit events on new files?
It seems to be a Mac OS issue? 'Cause I have the same problem here:

-- thanks in advance
Got the same issue on os x, but it's working fine with Debian. I've founded https://github.com/ggreer/fsevents-tools which is an inotify wrapper around FSEvent but I still can't get him to work.
