What would be the causes for this error ?

• Operating system: Linux Mint 17.1
• gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1)
• Python 2.7.6
• [email protected]
• node 0.12.2

Where can I find a tutorial about installing bcrypt on linux and the system tools that I need ?

Answer 1

The node_module_register internal API was added to Node.js in v0.11.11 via commit 76b9846.

The bcrypt module is a C++ addon, which must be compiled against the same version of Node.js that they are run on.

My best guess is that you've compiled it for use with Node.js v0.12.x but are trying to run it using v0.10.x
