node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

Nobody has claimed this yet.

When installing Hue, the npm fails on node-pre-gyp

below is the error message:

> zipfile@0.5.12 install /home/hadoop/hue/node_modules/zipfile
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

Here are the npm and node version
> npm -v
3.5.2

> node -v
v4.2.6

This is similar to another issue : https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp/issues/471 which is still open, though the exception is different.

Can you help.

Thanks

The report names node-pre-gyp, zipfile, libxmljs, minizlib, and tar, with the failure at node_modules/minizlib/index.js:277 under Node v4.2.6 and npm 3.5.2. Start by reproducing the installation and tracing the typed-array exception through the reported stack; done means the install completes without the node-pre-gyp exception.
