Cannot load externalized builtin: "internal/deps/cjs-module-lexer/lexer:/usr/lib/node_modules/cjs-module-lexer/lexer.js".
I am getting this error whenever I try to install something from npm
Error

Cannot load externalized builtin: "internal/deps/cjs-module-lexer/lexer:/usr/lib/node_modules/cjs-module-lexer/lexer.js".

//cc @mochaaP this seems like it may be related to your recent work. Will the release of https://github.com/nodejs/cjs-module-lexer/pull/91 help here?
We haven't cooperated that change in any released versions yet, both in nodejs20 and nodejs-cjs-module-lexer. Also, this seems to be a distro-specific issue, so please raise it in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/
Besides, I could not reproduce this on f39 with the following packages:
nodejs-docs-1:20.12.0-1.fc39.noarch
libuv-1:1.48.0-1.fc39.x86_64

Does your root filesystem support symlinks? /usr/lib/node_modules should be a symlink to node_modules_20 on Fedora 39+ and RHEL 10+.
Oh, I recalled what's the issue here. libuv made io_uring default from a while ago, and it got merged into Node.js. Unfortunately, the implementation (kernel? libuv?) is currently buggy and had various quirks when doing file I/Os. A workaround is to set UV_USE_IO_URING=0 in your environment variables.
Seemed to be a kernel regression. Tested with a clean f39 podman container on 6.9.0-0.rc4.37.fc41.x86_64, works well. @aswinbennyofficial Could you test it on Fedora 40?
@mochaaP I havent installed fedora 40 yet.
I have created a bug report on bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2276166
@guybedford since this isn't a cjs-module-lexer issue but a kernel/libuv/node one, we can close this here.

I tried this still was having the same error
Forwarding from rhbz.
OK, I figured this out.
You are running npm as root and your npmrc sets
prefix=/usr, which overrides/usr/lib/> node_modulesto a folder instead of a symlink. Please don't install npm packages globally, at least not installing to/usr/lib.
