Installing the following under Ubuntu 16.04 works for me:

sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool nasm

I have no idea. I’ve never had an npm dependency that had an npm dependency that had an npm dependency that required an entire build chain of requirements. I spent about a day trying to get it working then gave up.

VERY not happy I have to install all this crap on my build server to get it working.

I don’t feel very comfortable to read such a rude message. And I don’t even develop the tool.

Some people are thinking about it and it does not seem trivial. Maybe you can share your knowledge in #33

On Amazon EC2:

# Amazon AMI Linux
yum install autoconf automake libtool nasm

VERY not happy I have to install all this crap on my build server to get it working.

hm… CI does not like this :\

why does the pre build binary does not work in the first place?
