Install on node 16 failes

[martijndierckx]

I'm trying to install socketcan on Ubuntu 22.04, node v16.16.0, node-gyp 9.0.0, python 3.10.4, gcc 11.2.0. But I'm getting an error.

Any ideas?

Anyone have an idea?

Not sure if the offending line says that g++ itself was not found or its input files. Maybe you can increase the verbosity somehow.

Is g++ in your path? Can you call it when opening a fresh shell without issue?

gcc was installed ... not g++. Installing it fixed the issue. I got caught up on the ambiguous error message as well and assumed it was the file.

Happy socketcanning then :).
