I successfully installed log.io with this fix:

find .npm/forever/0.8.2/package.json -> then EDIT this line

"node-fork": "git://github.com/bm eck/node-fork.git" --> change to "node-fork" : "0.4.0"

More details:

node-fork should be followed by Sander Tolsma ( refer this https://github.com/nodejitsu/forever/pull/217)

npm: http://search.npmjs.org/#/node-fork

github: https://github.com/stolsma/node-fork

Then I choose version 0.4.0 and it works! (up to now, latest version of node-fork is 0.4.1)

Thanks!
