Comment(by ryandesign@…):
The presence of files with extensions like .mp_1323310545 indicate that
MacPorts at one point told you that a port could not be activated because
a file it wanted to install already existed, and you overrode that message
by using the `-f` (force) flag, which was probably not the right thing to
do.
Please ensure again that npm is not installed by looking at
{{{
port installed npm
}}}
If it is installed,
{{{
sudo port uninstall npm
}}}
Then manually delete any remaining npm-related items:
{{{
sudo port rm -rf /opt/local/bin/npm* /opt/local/lib/node_modules*
/opt/local/share/man/man*/npm*
}}}
Then clean and install the npm port again.
{{{
sudo port clean npm
sudo port install npm
}}}
Does `npm` now work?
