ibm_db install error on node v8.11.4 latest version

[nsanthoshkumar]

Hi, I was trying to install ibm_db node module which used to work now starts complaining with the below error.

I tried various steps and different versions of node. None of them are working.

node installer/driverInstall.js

Hi @nsanthoshkumar ,

I think this issue is coming from "node-gyp", please try to upgrade the node-gyp version to latest. Also, please include the details of the platform which you are using.

[nsanthoshkumar]

I tried updating the node-gyp, but it did not work. I am using Darwin 17.0. Also, it is caused by xcode. I read that the error is caused by the broken version of xcode. I removed the following folder as mentioned in the stackoverflow.

rm -r /usr/local/include

It worked like a charm and I am able to install the module without any issues.

Thanks for the prompt response.
