No, i meant nodejs.
The debian package of nodejs, to be able to run on i686, need SSE2 (at
least)
which wasn't in the default set of features for the debian i386 port (last
time i checked),
and the v8 x87 port that would have allowed that has been abandonned
upstream
some years ago.
Upstream nodejs is certainly using the "correct set of requirements", which
unfortunately
does not always match the "set of features" of a given debian port.
What exact CPU you're using might give more or less good results...
