I did not want to edit the binding.gyp file of a module that I was using. So I solved this problem by passing "--openssl_fips=''" into the script I want to use, like npm install --openssl_fips=''

When using yarn it seems the --openssl_fips='' passed to yarn does not make a difference. If the issue happens in a dependency, editing binding.gyp in the node_modules/ directory gets reverted automatically. I ended up with a workaround that edits gyp’s source code directly:

The gyp source code location is printed in the error message:

gyp ERR! configure error 
gyp ERR! stack Error: `gyp` failed with exit code: 1
gyp ERR! stack     at ChildProcess.onCpExit (/Users/quark/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js:285:16)
gyp ERR! stack     at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:315:20)
gyp ERR! stack     at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:277:12)

gyp seems to evaluate the binding.gyp as a Python script, I changed the builtin variables to evaluate the script:

diff --git a/gyp/pylib/gyp/input.py b/gyp/pylib/gyp/input.py
index 354958b..bb982eb 100644

The input.py is located in the node-gyp directory printed in the above error message, for example:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/gyp/pylib/gyp/input.py
~/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/gyp/pylib/gyp/input.py

Looking at https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/search?q=openssl_fips

https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/2534#issuecomment-954978227

In binding.gyp please try to add a line to

'variables' : {
    'openssl_fips': '',
}

With Node 14 on Ubuntu 22.10, I solved this by downgrading npm to version 6 (npm install -g npm@6). Noticed the issue started as soon as I updated npm to version 9. The project was using yarn.

radu-b on Nov 24, 2022

@arjunfulp You can avoid passing the flag in the npm install command by adding openssl_fips to the npm configuration:

npm config set openssl_fips ''

I had the same issue with Node14. The version below node17 does not seem to match node-gyp@9.0.0, downgrade node-gyp to version “v8.3.0”, the issue is solved for me.

根据找到的资料在binding.gyp也添加了 ‘variables’:{‘openssl_fips’:0}

According to the information found, ‘variables’:{‘openssl_fips’:0} is also added to binding.gyp
