dyld: lazy symbol binding failed

Question

I am running into a weird error when i try to run gatsby develop inside a newly created gatsby project.

This should not have anything to do with gatsby.js (a static site generator), since I have been getting the same error on different occasions as well.

When I run gatsby develop in one of my old projects, this error does not occur.

~/Code/hzr (master) » gatsby develop                                           
success compile gatsby files - 0.996s
success load gatsby config - 0.076s

I also get the same error when I try to start a strapi project:

Does anyone have an idea what could cause this error?

I am on MacOS Catalina Version 10.15.7

Please let me know if you need any further information.

And thank you in advance.

I searched for the error online so far none of the suggested actions have worked.

Un- and reinstalling sharp did not fix the issue.

Un- and reinstalling node did not fix the issue.

Answer 1

Problem is with version of dependency name sharp.

Update your package.lock.json file or yarn.lock file to use the sharp version to "0.31.1".

Here is how to do it.

In yarn.lock.json file Replace

1. sharp "0.31.2" to sharp "0.31.1"
2. sharp@0.31.2: to sharp@0.31.1

Than

yarn install

This solved my issue on mac catalina 10.15
