Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 11, got 1. about nodem HOT 1 CLOSED

Yes, newer versions of Node.js are not compatible with modules built with older versions. The Nodem module is currently built with Node.js version 0.8.23. It seems that if I build the module with a newer Node.js version, that module will still work with older versions (as long as they are 0.6.x or newer). I have no idea if that will continue to be the case.

I have tried building the module with 0.10.4, but so far have not had success. I know what the issues are, but haven't taken the time to solve them yet. I will keep working on that, and when I get that working, I'll test to see if that module will also work with 0.8.x and 0.6.x, which would be ideal. That way I can just ship two binary modules for all versions, one for 32-bit, and one for 64-bit.

So you have two options right now. You can just use Nodem with Node.js version 0.8.x or 0.6.x, which should work fine. Or you can try building the module from source. That is easy to do, if the development files are all properly installed and set up on your system, which for some reason they don't seem to be for 0.10.x on my development machine. To build from source, change to the nodem/resources/ directory, and run this command:

node-gyp configure build

This command will create the module in the directory build/Release/ as mumps.node. Then you just move this new mumps.node file to nodem/lib/. You will need to have node-gyp installed, of course. To install node-gyp, you can run:

sudo npm -g install node-gyp

You may need to install npm first. It should be in the repositories of whatever Linux distribution you use, so install it from there. Hopefully this helps, and soon I should have a pre-built module binary that will work with 0.10.x versions of Node.js.

from nodem.
