Installing error #81

Closed rrraikman closed 7 years ago

rrraikman commented 8 years ago

I'm trying to install gifsicle using npm and it keeps throwing the following error. I have reinstalled and updated git, node, and npm and have been exhaustively searching the web for an answer but have had no luck. Error message says it is most likely a problem with the gifsicle package and not with npm. node lib/install.js is what is failing. Trying to install on a Windows 10 virtual machine using virtualbox.

Npm problems should not be reported here. Report the problem to the maintainer of the npm gifsicle package, which is not me. npm bugs gifsicle will lead you to the right place, as npm itself reported.
