Question

I am currently working on a nodejs web application I am having trouble pushing the application online with cloud foundry. I did some research on the errors and it seems that

Answer 1

Delete the ~/.node-gyp folder and then the ~/.npmrc file.

Reboot your server and rerun npm install in your project folder

Edit:

Warning: removing ~/.npmrc will delete your other configurations

Answer 2

It worked after deleting package-lock.json and re run npm install

If you are using yarn to build your program delete yarn.lock and re run yarn install

Answer 3

Figured out the issue. Some of the npm packages were not up to date. I modified the package.json to install all the latest versions of all packages and the error was fixed.

Answer 4

In our case (since make failed), this issue could be resolved by installing the build / development tools:

Ubuntu / Debian:

apt-get install -y build-essential

CentOS:

yum install gcc gcc-c++ make 

Fedora 23 and above:

dnf install @development-tools

If this is not the solution, you might want to try to upgrade or downgrade node, remove package-lock.json and the node_modules folder, and then re-run npm install.

Answer 5

Follow these steps to resolve the issue.

• Make sure you have build-tools installed.
• Update node-gyp
• Delete package-lock.json and node modules folder and run npm install again.
• Deleting ~/.node-gyp folder and run npm install again.
