dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: -> references a package I am not using

Question

meteor.js noob here. I am trying to run an application I just cloned from github... I am getting the following error about lazy symbol binding

W20160817-10:30:52.177(-4)? (STDERR) dyld: Symbol not found: _node_module_register
W20160817-10:30:52.177(-4)? (STDERR)   Referenced from: /Users/user1/.meteor/packages/npm-bcrypt/.0.8.7.cg8y4v++os.osx.x86_64+web.browser+web.cordova/npm/node_modules/bcrypt/build/Release/bcrypt_lib.node
W20160817-10:30:52.177(-4)? (STDERR)   Expected in: dynamic lookup
W20160817-10:30:52.177(-4)? (STDERR)

The app does not use bcrypt to the best of my knowledge, as it only uses OAuth. I have also looked through the packages list, and bcrypt is not there (as it shouldn't be) I have tried to resolve the issue through...

sudo rm -rf node_modules
npm install
npm rebuild <package>

as suggested in some topics with similar issues.

I have also done

meteor add <package>
meteor remove <package>

I have tried to install bcrypt to see if the app will run, I have looked through a whole bunch of similar error messages on stackoverflow. Nothing seems to help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Ok, after a massive amount of attempts, I somehow solved the problem by installing nvm, uninstalling and reinstalling node, dropping the node_modules and reinstantiating them, and updating the bcrypt indirect dependency.

It seems that installing NVM is what made the biggest difference.
