I have a fresh install of node.js running on Windows 7, and I am trying to run a very basic JQuery script, named a.js, which contains just:

require("jquery");
$().jquery;

Unfortunately, this will not run with JQuery, giving me a TypeError:

C:\Users\Ian>node a.js

C:\Users\Ian\node_modules\jquery\lib\node-jquery.js:10
    window.XMLHttpRequest.prototype.withCredentials = false;
                         ^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined

I have found a few bug reports on this error through Google, most of which suggest downgrading JQuery. However, when I do that, I just get a different error. The below is with JQuery 1.6.3:

C:\Users\Ian>node a.js

module.js:340
    throw err;
      ^

Can anyone suggest what may be wrong? I have tried various reinstallations of the software with no luck. I have tried both npm install -g and npm install for both the default version of jquery and also [email protected].

Edit: This question - as yet unanswered - seems related.

If ur on node 0.10.x ... run sudo npm rebuild
