Updating mongoose to 4.2.5 breaks application

Question

After updating mongoose to the latest version, when I start up my server I get the following not-very-helpful error:

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _node_module_register
Referenced from: /Users/michaelrusso/Development/sp-app-website/services/node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/node_modules/kerberos/build/Release/kerberos.node
Expected in: dynamic lookup

Referenced from: /Users/michaelrusso/Development/sp-app-website/services/node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/node_modules/kerberos/build/Release/kerberos.node

EDIT: this question is specific to mongoose 4.2.5

This is specific to mongoose 4.2.5. Regardless, solution posted for other question didn't fix the problem. — Musical Shore, Nov 10 '15 at 22:58

Try deleting your node_modules folder and running npm install again.

rm -rf node_modules/
npm install

That should fix it.

Basically this error means that some binary packages were built under different node.js versions and are not compatible with each other.

I tried that, I also tried adding kerberos as a dependency. Neither worked. – Musical Shore Nov 10 '15 at 22:57
Did you tried to delete and reinstall you globally installed node modules as well? Maybe it's worth a try. In `~/.npm/` directory – Vadorequest Nov 10 '15 at 23:24
Also, did you try the steps 2 and 3 in the link? `npm update` and then `npm rebuild`? If reinstalling globally doesn't help then I advise you to try that. – Vadorequest Nov 10 '15 at 23:26
My apologies, you were right. – Musical Shore Nov 11 '15 at 00:15
