Installing on amazonlinux fails

I’m trying to install node-libcurl in an amazonlinux docker container. libcurl and libcurl-devel are both installed. But the build process is bailing trying to link libcurl-gnutls. That package doesn’t seem to be available for amazonlinux.

For reference sake I’m using amazonlinux because I’m building node-libcurl to run on an AWS Lambda container.

Here’s the relevant error:

> node-libcurl@1.3.2 install /cts-monitor-serverless/node_modules/node-libcurl
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

[node-libcurl] Success: "/cts-monitor-serverless/node_modules/node-libcurl/lib/binding/node_libcurl.node" is installed via remote

The prebuilt version of the addon is now static linked against their dependencies. This is fixed on develop branch and on node-libcurl@next version, which is going to become v2 the following week.

Nop that is not expected, npm probably is not cleaning correctly the package before reinstalling. It’s a good idea to always remove the package before reinstalling.

I will keep that open so I can remember to take a look into that later on, thanks for reporting.
