So... it was working... the server is CentOS... i'm working with nvm, pm2 and i know i got it running last time. Because of how all of that was installed(nvm, pm2) i had to switch users and nvm use X.. but it worked!! ... i remember i had to install sharp again(i think this is sth to do with another C/C++ compiled module - uws)... now no matter with what user(root, myUser) i npm install and run it i have this error^...any suggestions?

Thank you @lovell ... i put require('sharp') on the first line of the app and the error was gone :)

I'm getting this error and putting the require on the first line of the app is not a good solution for me. I only have one specific API endpoint that needs this.

I don't have electron, node-canvas or any other image libraries being required.

Its looking for 1.2.9:
Error: /lib64/libz.so.1: versionZLIB_1.2.9' not found`

But 1.2.7 seems to be the one installed:

node -e "console.log(process.versions.zlib)" 1.2.7

Any ideas?

EDIT:

Also have glibc installed
