Incorrect npm version on Mac OS X

[xapou]

Having installed node via Homebrew with the --without-npm option and then npm, I have the following setup which works fine:

ixav:~ xp$ which node
/usr/local/bin/node
ixav:~ xp$ node --version
v4.2.1
ixav:~ xp$ which npm
/Users/xp/.node/bin/npm
ixav:~ xp$ npm --version
3.7.2
ixav:~ xp$ which npm-check
/Users/xp/.node/bin/npm-check

but when I run npm-check, i get this:

ixav:~ xp$ npm-check -g

npm   😎  MAJOR UP  Major update available: https://docs.npmjs.com/
                   npm install --save npm@3.7.2 to go from 2.14.7 to 3.7.2

Use npm-check -u -g for interactive update.

Not sure where this 2.14.7 version comes from...

Interesting issue!

I use https://github.com/jonschlinkert/global-modules to figure out the path for your global modules. Can you see if that module gives you the correct path? If it doesn't, create a bug for Jon and mention this issue so I can follow the progress.

@dylang: this seems to be a known bug in @jonschlinkert's global-prefix. see Issue

Most likely related to #87 so closing this one just to keep things clean.
