I see a similar problem that was solved on SO regarding developers who use rStudio: libjvm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am having a similar error when I launch my node app to heroku:

return process.dlopen(module, path._makeLong(filename));
                 ^

It looks like you'll need to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable like this:

$ heroku config:set JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64"

This is because you are using the stack JDK (the default JDK). You can also use a custom JDK (usually a newer version) by adding the jvm-common buildpack to your app, which will also set JAVA_HOME for you:

$ heroku buildpacks:clear
$ heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-jvm-common
$ heroku buildpacks:add heroku/nodejs

Then redeploy with git push .
