bad interpreter: Too many levels of symbolic links
vagrant@precise64:~/.virtualenvs/djangoproj$ /home/vagrant/.virtualenvs/djangoproj/bin/pip
-bash: /home/vagrant/.virtualenvs/djangoproj/bin/pip: /home/vagrant/.virtualenvs/djangoproj/bin/python2.7: bad interpreter: Too many levels of symbolic links
The Challenge
-------------
Given the following riddle, write a regular expression describing all possible answers,
assuming you never make a move which simply undoes the last one you made.
The Riddle
----------
You are on your way somewhere, taking with you your cabbage, goat, and wolf, as always.
You come upon a river and are compelled to cross it, but you can only carry one of the
three companions at a time. None of them can swim because this isn't THAT kind of riddle.

Portable Node.js and NPM on windows
  1. Get node binary (node.exe) from http://nodejs.org/download/
  2. Create the folder where node will reside and move node.exe to it
  3. Download the last zip version of npm from http://nodejs.org/dist/npm
  4. Unpack the zip inside the node folder
  5. Download the last tgz version of npm from http://nodejs.org/dist/npm
  6. Open the tgz file and unpack only the file bin/npm (without extension) directly on the node folder.
  7. Add the the node folder and the packages/bin folder to PATH
  8. On a command prompt execute npm install -g npm to update npm to the latest version

Now you can use npm and node from windows cmd or from bash shell like Git Bash of msysgit.
