grunt-contrib-imagemin failed with "gifsicle@0.1.7"

My name is Charley and working in IBM, I work with my partner to build a clamari GUI client file with the instruction in https://github.com/ceph/romana

My build environment is: [root@acme64 ~]# node --version v0.12.7 [root@acme64 ~]# npm --version 2.13.2 [root@acme64 ~]# grunt --version grunt-cli v0.1.13 [root@acme64 ~]# gem --version 1.8.24 [root@acme64 ~]# bower --version 1.4.1 [root@acme64 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago) [root@acme64 ~]#

In the last step it failed in make build-real with the error message:

gifsicle@0.1.7 postinstall /temp/calamari-repo/calamari-clients/manage/node_modules/grunt-contrib-imagemin/node_modules/gifsicle node index.js

Could you please help me to find the root cause of this issue and provide the resolution?

Thanks a lot;

I had the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04, fixed after installing gifsicle using commandsudo apt-get install gifsicle.

after that grunt-contrib-imagemin installed without any issues.

Closing to clean up the issue tracker. If this is still an issue, open an issue on the relevant Imagemin plugin/binary repo instead.
