After some research i found that /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib is not an OS 10.6 library… is it a compatibility issue with Mac OS 10.6?

Thanks for any help!

10.6 is really old so no surprise this isn’t working. Unfortunately for you it’s nothing on our end. I’d suggest looking around for solutions to Node/npm on 10.6 or look into upgrading OSX.

thanks, i’ll take it as a chance to update my machine :wink:
