Yes, I know that. That is why I was building from source. Anyway, in the end I extracted the deb, and did the symlink hack to get it running. Although I have the feeling their build system is quite broken.

PS: More and more I'm noticing, all these new projects doesn't have any semblance of decent packaging. They just seem to throw some stuff together with hardcoded or relative paths, and say try it. Every community seems to have its own package manager. In this particular case it (npm) couldn't detect the system wide libraries, and dragged them in again!
You can do as you wish.... Just happen to have an old F17 system and with it comes libudev.so.0.
Maybe it will work to do what you did, maybe it won't. I've found that doing such is a recipe for disaster down the road.
