nodeJS + express + jqtpl + app.engine

I've an issue in NodeJS, i'm new to this. I'm using nodeJS, express and JQTPL to follow a tutorial about calling the github API but the problem is on the Application configuration, particularly on engine definition.

    var express = require('express'),
    app = express(),
    ...
    ;

app.configure(function(){
    app.set('view engine', 'html');
    app.set('view options', {layout: false});
    app.engine('.html', require('jqtpl').__express);
    });

// When we go to the URL "/" we go the the index.html
app.get("/", function(req, res){
    res.render("index");
});

app.get("/board", function(req, res) {
    res.render("board");
})

the app.engine call fail, here is the error :

 if ('function' != typeof fn) throw new Error('callback function required');

    ^
Error: callback function required

    at process.startup.processNextTick.process._tickCallback (node.js:244:9)

I understand what's a callback.. etc.. but the only way to call app.engine i found is builded like this.

Thank you for your help !

jqtpl seems to be broken (at least the version in the NPM repo; the GH version might work better): it tries to determine the version of Express, but it uses a property (express.version) that doesn't exist anymore.

Here's a workaround:

var express = require('express');
var app     = express();

app.configure(function(){
  app.set('view engine', 'html');
  app.engine('html', require('jqtpl/lib/express').render);
});

app.get("/", function(req, res){
  res.render("index"); // this renders "views/index.html"
});

app.listen(3013);
