TypeError: Cannot read property 'apply' of undefined

Nobody has claimed this yet.

Hi all, I am trying install sqlite3, however, it is failed. I think that the root cause is needle version, needle 2.9.0 is not working for node-pre-gyp.

node npm install sqlite3@^4.0.0

> sqlite3@4.2.0 install /home/william.chang/AAA/BBB/node_modules/sqlite3
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

Start by reproducing `npm install sqlite3@^4.0.0` with Node v6.10.0 and node-pre-gyp v0.11.0, then inspect `node_modules/node-pre-gyp/node_modules/needle/lib/needle.js` around line 618. Compare the failure with the reported Needle version and verify that the installation no longer raises the `apply` TypeError.
