Can not start node js project

[toanxyz]

I'm trying to var postal = require('node-postal'); But the system keeps saying errors as below:

webapp@0.0.0 start /home/ups_poc/webapp node ./bin/www

/home/ups_poc/webapp/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:88 throw e ^

Error: libpostal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at Object.Module._extensions..node (module.js:664:18) at Module.load (module.js:554:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:497:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:489:3) at Module.require (module.js:579:17) at require (internal/module.js:11:18) at bindings (/home/ups_poc/webapp/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:81:44) at Object.

The detail log as below:

Could someone help me with this error? I used CentOS 7.4

What was your issue? I have this issue now despite seemingly a working install.

#pkg-config --cflags --libs libpostal
-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lpostal

# npm install node-postal
... updated 1 package
