Additional information

• I noticed the error is from upgrading to version 13.11.0.

Comment

• I hope this bug is fixed in subsequent versions.
• If you have any similar issue to this node version 13.11.0, downgrading to an earlier version might solve the problem.

The bug report template asks for the output of uname -a, could you please fill that in? Does this occur when running simple Node.js commands, e.g. node -p 4+4?

[fobabs]

uname -a output updated.
node -p 4+4 outputs the same message.

Then I’m not quite sure what’s going on. Maybe you could try the various Node.js versions between 13.2.0 and 13.11.0?

@fobabs Can you try to build Node.js and bisect (using git bisect) to a single commit? If not, I can send you built Node.js binaries for you to test (total 10 binaries)

@addaleax That's exactly what I resolved into. I switched to version 13.2.0.

I'll give it a try compiling it from the source.

Successfully installed and working perfectly after compiling from source.
