node-gyp Fail When Installing from npm or source

[KICKGodz]

I'm currently running a Ubuntu v20.04 ARM64 on Oracle and keep getting an install error when trying to download.

I tried downloading through FEX to see if that would change anything but still the same.

Here is my error:

I've tried installing using Node versions 20, 18, 16, and 14 and it still hasn't worked.
Is this because of ARM or another reason? I installed all packages required and also those that node-gyp requires.

You may want to doble check your dependencies.
For instance, you are missing python. In my case I had to make sure the python-is-python3 (or 2to3) was installed.
And also decided to /bin/sh -> bash (instead of the default dash)

I'm also trying to install GL on arm64 and hitting something related to the GCC issue below:

• P/NPM install gl fails (gl is not compatible with GCC13) #271

Prebuilt binaries are available in the latest release (which also fixes builds from source): v8.0.2
