I was getting the same thing, but running npm upgrade -g npm seems to have fixed it

i had to reinstall laravel-elixir and gulp, this updated the file as well to laravel-elixir ^2.3.11.
sudo npm install gulp --save-dev
sudo npm install laravel-elixir --save-dev
once this was done i was able to run gulp again.

Upgrade node/npm to latest and it should solve the problem.

Was having the same problem ended up running "sudo npm install -g npm@latest " as suggested by @sanjay1688 then followed up with sudo installs of both gulp and laravel-elixir as suggested by @simondavies which also updated the elixir version to 3.0.5

Best and easiest way for windows is:
open folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache
open cmd (run as administrator)
cd laravel-path
npm install --no-bin-links
Now you need to find *.lock file (replace * with file name which npm given you in error log)
delete it manually, you need to repeat it at least 2 times after start and after cmd showing "Binary is fine; exiting."
That's it !
