Hello, the short-lived Node version 7.7.0 was a bit broken - see nodejs/node#11628 for the background.

Same issue with NodeJS v6.10.3 . CentOS 6

@ickata For Centos 6:

For 32-bit Intel CPUs and older Linux-based operating systems such as Centos 6, it is recommended to install a system-wide installation of libvips from source: https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips#building-libvips-from-a-source-tarball

Hi @lovell ,

Thank you for the quick response. I followed the installation instructions but now I get different error. Therefore I started new thread. #811
