Gyp error with Yarn

[bedeMarkRadford]

I get this error when using node-sass with Yarn:

Error: /build/node_modules/node-sass: Command failed.

Which looks like it can't make:

gyp ERR! stack Error: not found: make

I found this when looking for the error:
DeviaVir/zenbot#425

Suggesting we need build-essentials in the mix.
sudo apt-get install build-essential git

yes, you need to install the build-essential package to use make (or just install make and gcc)

hi, @bedeMarkRadford Did you get it to work?

[bedeMarkRadford]

I actually went around the problem and removed the dependency.
I'm not using Laravels Elixir which was the dependency causing the problems

Nice, if I can help you with something else feel free to reach me.

But why is the node version bumped to node 9 instead of 8? If you stead with node 8 there is no problem with node-sass that can not make a directory.

[edbizarro]

Because node 9 is the latest release

[GertjanRoke]

I know but not the latest LTS, maybe it is a good idea to only use the latest version of node with the latest version of php that your offering.
