Ubuntu 14.04 - Cannot find module '../build/Release/xxhash'

[ndmgrphc]

Not sure how to fix this. There were no errors on npm install. I tried node-gyp rebuild and got a host of other (presumably) unrelated errors. Using node v4.4.5 with npm 2.15.5 here and can't get lz4 going like I could on osx (fwiw).

Humm. I just did the install on Ubuntu 14.04 with node 4.4.6 and it worked fine:

Having the same issue but in a total different situation - we're having a total fancy project here with webpack@2.beta.25... with two entry points... one for local development, the other for proudction with full SSR on node.js.

Now when i include lz4 - and startup the dev environment.. everything is fine and webpack can bundle everything.

But as soon as i try to build and start the production env/mode - it fails with the exact same Error:

Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/xxhash'

I totally don't understand what could cause this 😕

Upping this issue, since it's still relevant for my project as well

Getting similar error trying to use LZ4 in an angular project.

Same thing on my side, but not for xxhash:

Module not found: Can't resolve '../build/Release/lz4' in '/Users/giuseppepersico/Github/perspective-test/node_modules/lz4/lib'
