Error: Unable to load shared library

[timohofmeijer]

I get the Following error when trying to run a simple example on OS X : (Not sure if its my setup or a bug, forgive me)

node.js:201 throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick ^ Error: Unable to load shared library /Users/Timo/nodejstest/node_modules/db-mysql/build/Release/mysql_bindings.node at Object..node (module.js:463:11) at Module.load (module.js:351:31) at Function._load (module.js:310:12) at Module.require (module.js:357:17) at require (module.js:368:17) at Object.

This is the same bug as this: https://github.com/Sannis/node-mysql-libmysqlclient/issues/107

I also experience it, moving down version by version to find a working one now.

Heh, I have the same problem with my library (nacl) - it works on node v0.4.12, but not on node v0.6.x.

I am getting the same problem on Lion.

I also had this problem when running Node 0.6.7 on OSX. Setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to the mysql lib directory fixed it for me. In my case this was /usr/local/mysql/lib.

I have the same problem, using windows xp...

Same problem on OSX. Setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH didn't work :(

[marnberg]

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/ works in OS X 10.6 and node 0.6.10

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/ Worked on 10.7.3

Hi. I'm having the same problem in Ubuntu. Does anybody knows how to solve it?

[caseybecking]

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/

That worked for me.
