Thankyou in advance

Assuming you mean node-red-contrib-pn532 did you install the pre-requisites as mentioned in the readme?
If you did then in a terminal run

node-red-stop
node-red-start

and post the output here. You can copy from the terminal using Ctrl+Shift+C.

Yes I'm working with node-red-contrib-pn532
Yes I installed the pre-requisites as mentioned in the PN532 documentation: RPi.GPIO and spidev.
when I was starting the node-red (with node-red-start) no any error appeared..
but I'm working on troubleshooting and i tryed to install also the libnfc (sudo apt-get install libnfc-dev) IMHO needed.
now when I start Nodered I have this log:

21 Feb 16:47:12 - [info] Starting flows
21 Feb 16:47:12 - [info] Started flows

21 Feb 16:47:12 - [warn] Card Error - ERROR: Unable to open NFC device.

in the red-node UI now the node is green "waiting for card" but the reader don't running...

if I try to run (in terminal) the c code (/home/pi/node_modules/node-red-contrib-pn532/PN532/PN532) i have this message:

./PN532: line 17: 7788 Segmentation fault $BASEDIR/nfc_scan $@

I have no idea how to solve

You might be better to ask via an issue on the node, if no-one here has experience with it.
Also if you discovered an undocumented dependency then that would be worth feeding back to the author.
