Error installing using npm on OSX mavericks

[ghost]

When I tried installing the newer version of grunt-casperjs (1.4.0) using npm, I get the below error:

Casperjs not installed. Installing.
Receiving 0K...

/Users/peter/Sites/node_modules/grunt-casperjs/node_modules/adm-zip/zipFile.js:66
throw Utils.Errors.INVALID_FORMAT;
^
Invalid or unsupported zip format. No END header found
...

In my package file I have:
"dependencies": {
...
"grunt-casperjs": "~1.4.0",
...
}

So nothing fancy. Any ideas?

Same issue observed occasionally on Ubuntu 13.10.

On my ubuntu 12.04 I solved this by running first:

sudo npm -g install casperjs

I have the same issue on Windows 7 Ultimate.

node -v v0.10.26
npm -v 1.4.3

This is still happening randomly on grunt-casperjs 1.4.0 on Linux boxes. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks!
