node cannot load app with libpq referenced

[jayrosen1576]

I have a very simple node script in index.js:

//var libpq = require('libpq');
console.log("hello");

uncommenting the libpq statement causes the following error when starting node:

o:\Projects\my-app\node_modules\bindings\bindings.js:83
        throw e
        ^

Error: The operating system cannot run %1.

I have tried a node-gyp rebuild, rebuilt the libpq solution manually in Visual Studio all to no avail. I have postgresql running so there's no problem there either. No idea where to go from here.

Btw, I'm on Windows 7 32-bit.

Probably the same problem here. @jayrosen1576 had you resolved this?

[jayrosen1576]

nope. no feedback and no resolution.

Hmm sorry about that - I don't currently support windows so you're kinda on your own with resolving that one! If you find anything feel free to report back, open PR, whatever you'd like! Best of luck! Also: you can just use the JavaScript client...it's plenty fast and even faster in some situations.
