How can we fix this issue?

@davegermiquet I’m not an expert on yarn, but does using npm or updating yarn help? At least npm ships with its own copy of node-gyp.

I'll upgrade yarn now, is it a node-gyp version issue or a iltorb issue in compilation?

[addaleax]

@davegermiquet I would be relatively sure that it’s the former.

Ok. Same issue happens on latest version of yarn. Let me see if i can force a node-gyp version then.

[nstepien]

@davegermiquet is it still happening?

[davegermiquet]

I was able resolve the issue by doing the following:

• Using NVM
• Upgrading to the latest version LTS (10 or 12) that supports python3 and node-gyp
• upgrading the latest node-gyp to 6.1.0
  npm explore npm -g -- npm install node-gyp@latest

Also may need to use resolutions feature with yarn for package.json depending on the dependencies

see below:

"resolutions": {
"{package-name}/node-gyp": "^6.X.X"
},

Hope this helps someone until the complete upgrades of python3
