I had to update node-gyp globally:

npm update -g node-gyp

I had the same problem in https://github.com/tomondev/emiflake.

updating node-gyp globally helped me also.

Thanks!

You may experience issues after doing this if you sudo npm install -g node-gyp and then try and build modules which require node-gyp without using sudo.

A fix is to make sure ~/.node-gyp is chown to the correct user.

Issue sounds well known and fixed.
