BroccoliTypscriptCompiler error during ng serve

See original GitHub issue

Running ng serve and making a change to a file gives me the following error:

The Broccoli Plugin: [BroccoliTypeScriptCompiler] failed with:
Error: EEXIST: file already exists, link '/Users/pascalprecht/projects/thoughtram/angular2-master-class-solutions/tmp/broccoli_type_script_compiler-cache_path-g6eAeTvI.tmp/src/client/app/contact-header/contact-header.js.map' -> '/Users/pascalprecht/projects/thoughtram/angular2-master-class-solutions/tmp/broccoli_type_script_compiler-output_path-z1rCCzws.tmp/src/client/app/contact-header/contact-header.js.map'

This error does not occur when I kill the serve process and start it again.

I was having the same problem in windows with beta 1 until I ran my command line as administrator. I’m assuming if you’re haveing the problem under linux or osx you can run it as sudo and it would fix it.
