When I was getting errors like this  I was upgrading from node v0 10 to node v4 x x   What I had to do was install a newer version of gcc  I think I had gcc v4 4 x or something   I updated to gcc 4 7 2 and things worked after that

Try npm install mongoose 3 8 23 and also replace  bson   require     build Release bson    to  bson   require     browser build bson    in node modules bson ext index js

The problem is when you install mongoose via npm it assumes you have python installed on your windows and tries to build required libraries  Since you do not have python it skips building phase with a warning  But when you start your application  required modules are not there so you get this error    In order to do things right first install python  version 2 7  on your computer from  https   www python org downloads  or if u have installed chockolatey just type choco install python2   Then make sure your python variable is set  You can set it on command prompt like   SET python D  Python27 python exe    Of course you should change the path according to your location of python  Then install node-gyp   npm install -g node-gyp   Now you can reinstall mongoose or whatever module causing the problem   npm install mongoose   You will see some yellow lines instead of red ones this time but the error will be gone

If you are using windows 8 1  you might want to make sure that you are installing your npm modules with the correct visual studio compiler   I have Visual Studio 2012 installed  this command works for me   after deleting node modules dir   npm install --msvs version 2012  For some reason  node-gyp is trying to use the incorrect version of Visual Studio compiler   I also noticed that the  npm install  command was printing out a warnings about not node-gyp dependencies when installing the mongodb and mongoose modules   After using the correct msvs version  the npm install warnings went away as well as the console warning when running my nodejs app   You might also want to make sure that you have the correct Python 2 7 X version installed and not Python 3 0 X   You will also need to make sure that python is in your env path

You should never change files in NODE MODULES library folder   Those files are result of npm install command   Basicaly  I think for Windows users - right way is use VM  It s what I m doing when I work from home   All you need   for CentOS  yum install gcc gcc-c   make openssl-devel  for Debian Ubuntu  apt-get install build-essential  and then npm install or  if you have already done it - npm update

Deploying Keystone JS CMS I had same error and I think most elegant solution is this   Install npm-check-updates   root keystonejs    npm install -g npm-check-updates   Within your keystone site directory  where package json is placed  check dependencies   debian keystonejs   myproject manalcjim  npm-check-updates -u   Then update all packages   debian keystonejs   myproject manalcjim  npm install   And finally if you chose jade for templates  maybe you will need install jade module explicitly   debian keystonejs   myproject manalcjim  npm install jade --save

I realize this thread is 1 year   old  but it helped me  albeit with a different module   I installed mongoose-post-findv0 0 2 and this issue started  To fix it  I used the suggestions and navigated to  node modules mongoose-post-find node modules bson ext and opened the index js file   The file starts off with a try catch block trying to require the correct bson version  try          Load the precompiled win32 binary     if process platform     win32   amp  amp  process arch     x64           bson   require    win32 x64 bson            else if process platform     win32   amp  amp  process arch     ia32           bson   require    win32 ia32 bson            else         bson   require     build Release bson                 catch err           Attempt to load the release bson version     try           bson   require     browser build bson          catch  err            console dir err          console error  js-bson  Failed to load c   bson extension  using pure JS version            bson   require     lib bson bson              this is the corrected version  What was happening is it tried to load bson from    build Release bson  couldn t find it and fell into the catch  There is tried to load bson again from    build Release bson and of course failed  So I changes the path in the catch to look in    browser build bson  This resolved the error   I post this for completeness

Unfortunately  All the above answers are only half right   Took a long time to figure this out    Mongoose bson install via npm throws warning and causes the error     npm install -g node-gyp  git clone https   github com mongodb js-bson git cd js-bson npm install node-gyp rebuild   This works like magic

So  i have the same problem and it happens then the specified mongoDB URL doesn t exist  So  to fix this you need to go     server config environment  folder and edit in  development js  file the link to mongoDB   Example      Development specific configuration                                       module exports          MongoDB connection options   mongo        uri   mongodb   localhost test2-dev          seedDB  true      So  change this  uri   mongodb   localhost test2-dev   to some real path to your mongoDB database   I will be glad if my post will help somebody

Short answer Install the latest version of mongodb  A little longer answer Make sure your package json is using the latest version of mongodb  then remove node modules mongodb and do npm install again  If you didn t use mongodb as a direct dependency  try to find which package is using mongdb  I used  find   -type f -name package json   xargs grep mongodb       sails-mongo package json      quot mongodb quot    quot 1 4 26 quot        So I updated   sails-mongo package json to   quot mongodb quot    quot 2 1 7 quot    Then remove node modules mongodb and do npm install again  Seems fine now  Even longer answer I don t like the current suggested way of using require     browser build bson    Since looking at    browser build bson js  a 4k  lines file  which seem also a  quot non-native quot  implementation   So although it won t spit out any  complains  it is still  quot using pure JS version quot   which means slower performance  Looking at https   github com mongodb js-bson issues 145 and  https   github com mongodb js-bson issues 165  it seems like the issue was caused by   antoniofruci commented on Sep 15  2015 I just found out that c   code has been moved out 6 months ago and it is now an optional dependency  bson-ext  Indeed  if you install latest version no error occurs   So I tried to remove the whole node modules and still got the same error  And looking at package json of node modules mongodb  its version is still 1 4 26  not latest 2 1 7  Apparently my mongodb comes as a dependency of another package I installed  sails-mongo   Modifying the package json of sails-mongo and redoing npm install finally solve the issue

In my case  the bits that come with mongoose  npm install mongoose  have a working version of the mongodb package in its node modules folder   The following steps saved me the work of troubleshooting the issue    npm install mongoose copy node modules mongoose node modules mongodb to my root node modules folder  overwriting any version that came with npm install mongodb  ignore the Failed to load c   bson extension    error  or change the code to be silent on the issue

In our case  the reason that the c   version bson was not found was because we were behind a corporate proxy and something in the BSON build process needs to reach out to fetch files   When we looked in node modules bson builderror log  we saw an error like this    gyp WARN install got an error  rolling back install gyp ERR  configure error gyp ERR  stack Error  connect ECONNREFUSED gyp ERR  stack     at errnoException  net js 904 11  gyp ERR  stack     at Object afterConnect  as oncomplete   net js 895 19    Which suggested that the proxy might be the issue   Setting the http proxy and https proxy environment variables solved it   Sorry for reawakening comments on this  but I wanted to post this for anyone else that hits this in the future since this thread was very helpful in solving our issue

The marked answer is completely wrong  All that does is hide the console log statement and does nothing whatsoever do address the actually issue  You can also close your eyes and it will achieve the same result   The issue is caused by node-gyp and only that  Its purpose is to compile native extensions for certain modules such as bson   If it fails to do so then the code will fallback to the JS version and kindly tell you so through the informative message   Failed to load c   bson extension  using pure JS version   I assume the question is really about how to compile the native C   extension rather that just not seeing the message so let s address that   In order for node-gyp to work your node-gyp must be up to date with your node and C   compiler  that will differ based on your OS   Just as important your module must also be up to date   First uninstall and reinstall node-gyp  npm un node-gyp -g npm i node-gyp -g   Now you will need to fully uninstall and reinstall any node module in your app  that includes modules installed by requirements as well  that have bson  That should take care of the error  You can search for  Release bson  and find the culprits   find node modules  -type  f  -exec grep -H  Release bson          And then uninstall and reinstall these modules   Easier is to just redo the entire node modules folder    rm -rf node modules  npm cache clear  npm i   If you still experience issues then either 1  your module is out of date - check issue tracker in their repo or 2  you have a potential conflict - sometimes we may have a local node-gyp for example  You can run node-gyp by itself and verify versions
