[Nix-dev] npm instlall phantomjs not working correctly

[Brian McKenna]

I've had this problem before.

PhantomJS downloads and runs a binary. The binary it downloads doesn't
point to an actual linker on NixOS (hence the no such file error).

You can see this:

    $ ls -l $(patchelf --print-interpreter
node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs)
    ls: cannot access /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: No such file or directory

I think the solution is to have the nixpkgs phantomjs in your shell.
Then npm install will say something like this:

    PhantomJS is already installed at
/nix/store/r7hmkiz9ypbrs8liy7g660qvzxhdx0l4-phantomjs-1.9.8/bin/phantomjs.
