Well -- the good news is that you shouldn't see that error, that bad news is that it appears the latest Fibers (1.0.6) has a corrupted binary file in the npm implementation for Windows (at least Windows 7 x32 bit). I presume you are on node 0.10.xx?

Here is a link to a github issue on this subject: https://github.com/laverdet/node-fibers/issues/236

Alas, I don't know of a good work around because it appears that [email protected] binary is no longer available on npm! So it tries to build that too.

Alas, the github README.md is pretty vague about how to actually compile this on Windows. Here is the blurb (below). Since I don't have a full development environment I can't even try it out .. but again, we shouldn't have to. :(

from source

git clone git://github.com/laverdet/node-fibers.git
cd node-fibers
npm install

Note: node-fibers uses node-gyp for building. To manually invoke the build process, you can use node-gyp rebuild. This will put the compiled extension in build/Release/fibers.node. However, when you do require('fibers'), it will expect the module to be in, for example, bin/linux-x64-v8-3.11/fibers.node. You can manually put the module here every time you build, or you can use the included build script. Either npm install or node build -f will do this for you. If you are going to be hacking on node-fibers, it may be worthwhile to first do node-gyp configure and then for subsequent rebuilds you can just do node-gyp build which will be faster than a full npm install or node-gyp rebuild.
