homebridge fails to start module did not self register

Running nodejs v7.7.3 on Linux Mint 17.3 (Ubuntu 14.04)

seems to install fine with no errors or warnings

on running the program either privileged or non it throws the same error.

`/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/hap-nodejs/node_modules/mdns/lib/dns_sd.js:35 throw ex; ^

Error: Module did not self-register. at Object.Module._extensions…node (module.js:598:18) at Module.load (module.js:488:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:447:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:439:3) at Module.require (module.js:498:17) at require (internal/module.js:20:19) at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/hap-nodejs/node_modules/mdns/lib/dns_sd.js:24:20) at Module._compile (module.js:571:32) at Object.Module._extensions…js (module.js:580:10) at Module.load (module.js:488:32) `

I have seen this error on several searches and all of the fixes presented there don’t work and the others are all closed. Have already tried uninstall and reinstall. Checked for every suggested library update. Still no go.

I am very much not a Node.JS guy so trouble shooting this is a bit beyond me.

This “tutorial” is auto-generated by npm and does not help. Use the installation hints in the wiki of homebridge instead.
