Branch?
How did you start Etherpad Lite?
Please give us more information.
Looks like async is not installed.

Can you provide the output of the following commands (assuming you are in the etherpad-lite dir)

cd src;
node -e 'console.log(require("async"))' ;
cat node_modules/async/package.json | grep version

[martinvogt1986]

root#:/usr/src/etherpad-lite/src# node -e 'console.log(require("async"))' ;
{}
root#:/usr/src/etherpad-lite/src# cat node_modules/async/package.json | grep version
"version": "0.1.18",

cloned the repository with the following command about 30 minutes ago: git clone 'git://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite.git'

If i start as root, for testing and evaluation i get the following...

/usr/src/etherpad-lite# bin/run.sh
You shouldn't start Etherpad-Lite as root!
Please type 'Etherpad Lite rocks my socks' if you still want to start it as root
Etherpad Lite rocks my socks
bin/run.sh: 16: [: Etherpad: unexpected operator
Ensure that all dependencies are up to date...
Ensure jQuery is downloaded and up to date...
Clear minfified cache...
ensure custom css/js files are created...
start...

How about

ls -r no
cat node_modules/async/index.js
cat node_modules/async/lib/async.js
ls -R1 node_modules/async

(all in ./src)

Looks something went wrong while installing async. In ./src, npm uninstall async might fix your problem (or try deleting the node_modules dir)

[martinvogt1986]

a reinstallation of async fixed this issue
