Install fails on Ubuntu machine
Sunlis opened this issue · comments
I had no issues installing this package in my local Ubuntu VM (running Ubuntu 16.04), but for some reason, when trying to install on my server (also Ubuntu 16.04) it fails. I've installed libgd2-dev, as stated in the README.
Running npm install node-gd gives the classic, wonderfully-useless error:

Solved this by upgrading node. I was running an old version (4.x.x). Upgraded to 6.11.1 and install worked first try.
