Unable to install on macOS 11.4 Apple Silicon Node v16.4

Hi. I get the errors as below when trying to npm install in the environment noted in the description. We have other systems running identical (as far as we can tell) OS and other dependencies, but on macOS for Intel, and they build the same project just fine. Wondering if there is something still not right with node-libcurl on Node v16 and Apple Silicon, even at node-libcurl 2.3.3. Have tried at Node v16.4.0 and v16.4.2 FWIW.

Here’s an extract from the log file:

OK I think I am past this issue. Regarding both traces above:

First trace:

• Likely due to not well installed xcode-select

Second trace:

• Resolved by: brew install curl-openssl export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/curl/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.zshrc

Just noting that this worked for me again on another M1 Mac, and on macOS 12.0.1, from the same error message. I know this shouldn’t be surprising, but it is alway pleasing nonetheless.
