node-gyp issues when running npm install

[hackin247]

I upgraded node and npm but still no go. Partial capture of error message below.

I'm seeing this too and don't know anything about how to resolve it. 😐

Apologies for the late response on this, @hackin247 and @mdiep. I wasn't able to resolve this either, and this is ultimately what prompted me to write swift-doc as a replacement. The good news is that this new tool is written in Swift, so our days of wrangling node_modules are (thankfully) behind us.
