Haven't found any solution out there.

Alright, so this is a silly one but finally found it. I just had a key value in my npm config which I guess the installation uses.

https-proxy = "127.0.0.1:27015"

So I just deleted it:

npm config delete https-proxy

And finally run with no problems.

This is the only problem I have seen like mine

Same error when updating gulp-imagemin to v7.1.0, any idea where it comes from ?

A bit late to the party but I ran into this when using gulp-imagemin 7.1.0 on Ubuntu.

The solution was to run sudo apt-get install libtool automake autoconf nasm first
