Unable to load /nowjs/now.js

Question

When I start the server, I get the following error

[Error: Unable to load shared library /home/boopathi/node_modules/now/node_modules/node-    proxy/lib/node-proxy.node]
Error: Unable to load shared library /home/boopathi/node_modules/now/node_modules/node-proxy/lib/node-proxy.node

When I make the node-proxy module manually, I get the following warning..

[2/2] cxx_link: build/Release/node-proxy_1.o -> build/Release/node-proxy.node 

in yellow color...

Now I'm not able to load the /nowjs/now.js file

I tried --harmony_proxies .. but it did not help ..

What is your nodejs version? Run node -v to find it out. – Horatius

0.6.6... using Arch linux ... installed node using pacman – Spitfire

Answer 1

This should help you find it out:

Fire up gdb node. Type break node.cc:1624, then type run yourscript.js. When gdb hits the breakpoint, use p/a dlerror() to obtain the address of the error. It should print something like $123 = 0xabcddefg. Now use x/s 0xabcddefg (insert the address you got from the last command) to see the error. Is the error helpful?

I encountered same problem with bcrypt and found it's because my node was 32bit and bcrypt was build as 64bit. After I build a 64bit node, all things work fine.

I´ve tried this solution without success.

I guess the team made NowJS need to fix it current support in all plataforms. I cannot run NowJS under either Mac and Windows.

There is no way to accomplish it. Maybe some further version allow me to play with NowJS, but NOW, I can´t do it.
