Sharp: Unable to compile Sharp

[lolaodelola]

What are you trying to achieve?
Sharp is a dependency in a gatsby project I'm working on. Whenever I run any gatsby commands, I get the following error:

The module '<sharp module path>'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 72. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 64. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).

- Ensure the version of Node.js used at install time matches that used at runtime
- Consult the installation documentation at https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/en/stable/install/
- Search for this error at https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues

I've run both npm rebuild and npm install and neither fix the issue.

Have you searched for similar questions?
I noticed that issue 1689 was similar, however, I'm not using electron.

Node 12 was used at npm install time but Node 10 is being used at runtime.

The NODE_MODULE_VERSION is a bit confusing as it represents an internal ABI version number. You can see what external version number these relate to at https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/

[lolaodelola]

That's the thing, I don't have node 12 on my machine, I previously had node 9.x.x & upgraded to 10.x.x. Would you recommend me installing 12?

[lovell]

Oh, that's interesting, could the files in node_modules have been copied from another machine?

What's the output of running npm install --verbose sharp?

[lolaodelola]

They were actually, I used a starter theme for the Gatsby project, I guess that could be it. When I run that command, I get an error lol
TypeError: Cannot read property 'match' of undefined

[lovell]

It's usually best to avoid copying node_modules between machines. You can safely delete it and re-create it for your OS and (major) version of Node via npm install.

I get this exact same issue too. I've tried completely removing, unlinking and pruning node and npm and re-installing, deleting node_modules folder. npm installing and npm uninstalling sharp, npm rebuilding. really not sure what's going on but it means i can't compile and run my gatsby site :(

node -v
v12.4.0
npm -v
6.9.0

Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

The module '/node_modules/sharp/build/Release/sharp.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 67. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 72. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using npm rebuild or npm install).

[lovell]

@fortydegrees That error means that npm install was run using Node 11. There are probably multiple, conflicting versions of Node on your machine.

[lolaodelola]

So I completely nuked node_modules & the package-lock.json but no success unfortunately :( still the same error.

[lovell]

@lolaodelola When you say "same error", does this refer to "TypeError: Cannot read property 'match' of undefined"? If so, perhaps there's a npm-shrinkwrap.json file that also needs removing?

[fortydegrees]

Yeah, I've completely removed node and npm from my system multiple times and don't have any other versions installed, and still get this error

I notice that when i run a clean 'npm i' which the latest node installed and no others, this command gets run:

[email protected] preinstall /Users/david/ballpark/website/node_modules/node
node installArchSpecificPackage

I assume it's the [email protected] that's causing the error.

I downgraded node v12.4.0 to node@10 via brew, but this still didn't work:

The module '/node_modules/sharp/build/Release/sharp.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 67. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 64. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using npm rebuild or npm install).

is there any reason why 'npm install' is compiling this with a specific version of node? i only have one version installed, and have tried changing from 12 to 10.

I got round this error by installing NVM and specifically installing node 11.15.0, removing all instances of node and node_modules and package-lock.json.

however, i now get a new error which is discussed here: https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/issues/13278

clearly not an issue with sharp - although I still don't understand exactly what it is and even how it happened.. and I still haven't fixed it, but feel like this isn't the place for this error and seems to be something to do with npm installing modules in different orders?

[fortydegrees]

FWIW, I've fixed this, just about.. Still not sure what the problem was and really don't think it's anything to do with sharp but here's what I'd recommend:

completely uninstall and remove all instances of node, npm. node_modules and package-lock
install nvm and install node version v11.15.0
run npm i and see if that works
if you get the graphQL error, delete node modules and package-lock again
run npm i again, then it should work - at least it did for me

Had the same problem but for a global package. The problem was I compiled Sharp with node 9.x.x and after that, I needed to install node 10.x.x for the package that I use. That made the conflict, and the solution was to recompile sharp with node 10.x.x and the error was gone.

How did you recompile sharp with a specific node version? I tried npm rebuild sharp node v10.15.3 but that didn't help so I don't think I am running the correct command. I get the below ouput.

i installed nvm, used that to install the specific node version, then
removed node_modules and package-lock.json and ran npm install

@LACoderDeBH For expo-cli, please see https://github.com/expo/expo-cli/issues/591#issuecomment-491236180

• i had the same problem after using nvm to upgrade from node 10 to 12
• i used rm -rf node_modules to remove the old installation of sharp
• the next npm install worked :)

:wave: cheers

[lovell]

@lolaodelola I hope you were able to solve your original problem, please feel free to re-open with more details if not.

Thanks everyone else for the hints and tips!

Thank you so much! Your question give me such good solution.
Just run: 'npm rebuild'. Done for me :D hehe

Node 12 bad. Node 10 good.
