Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 13, got 11.

I installed compress-buffer 1.2.2 with npm and saw no install errors. When I require it I get this error during the module load ...

Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 13, got 11.

I've never seen this kind of error before. I'm not seeing problems with any other module. Can anyone tell me what this means?

I'm running node 0.11.10 in windows 8.0.

I really really want to use compress-buffer because I have a totally synchronous script and I need compression. My script is an add-on module for the Atom editor.

The problem appears in bindings/bindings.js. The function that fails is bindings. Apparently the function is trying to use V8's Error API to determine the parent filename that this function is being invoked from, which is then used to find the root directory. The error output is ...

Failed to activate package named 'live-archive' Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 13, got 11.

I have just installed on a clean computer straight from npm. It works just fine. Unfortunately, I have no Windows copy around.

I can't get past this problem. It must have something to do with windows (8.0) , my version of node (0.11.10) or the Atom editor environment (0.120.0). I've installed a number of gyp modules so I'm pretty sure my environment and Visual Studio are correct.

Have you ever seen an error like Module version mismatch. Expected 13, got 11.. I have no idea what that means. Your version is 1.2.2.

I just tried it with a fresh empty project and got the same results.

I know this is asking too much, but I'd have no problem letting you remote into my pc.

In any case I guess I'll just have to wait until the future node version that offers the sync version of zlib.

Thanks for your trouble.

[egorFiNE]

node.js 0.11.10 is an unstable release, which is also old. Update to 0.11.13, which already has sync interface to zlib. I would suggest that you abandon node-compress-buffer as it is a little bit dated project not really relevant for long time already.

Unfortunately node is built-into the atom editor and I can't change it. Oh
well, thanks again.
