File is missing '../build/Release/pty.node'

after installing tty.js
pty.js/lib/pty.js is pointing to a file that doesn't exist

It means pty.js native code (/src/unix/pty.cc) hasn't been compiled.
Try going to /node_modules/pty.js and type make

when i do npm install pty.js
I get

Hello,

Thanks for the cool module. It will replace many janky bash scripts.

I ran into this issue and spent the last hour trying to figure out why node-gyp was being so stubborn. Turns out, I built node (0.12.2) awhile back with debug symbols. In turn, node-gyp compiles this module only in Debug.

The solution is to cd into the module dir make clean && node-gyp configure --release && node-gyp build

I didn't realize node-gyp did this.

Edit: For clarity, this does compile. It just compiles to '../build/Debug/pty.node'
