I think you need to install dependencies of node-gyp.

• python (v2.7 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)
• make
• A proper C/C++ compiler toolchain, like GCC

If this recommendation didn’t help you, then look at troubleshooting guide

I have already install node-gyp dependencies. The problem is related with installation of "integer".
I have tried to make the install on 3 different linux servers and I got the same error:
balckets@nlss9 [~]# npm install -g integer

Maybe the problem is the version of gcc 4.4.7. It is inpossible to install a newer version to my server. Can we do something about it or I have to migrate to another sqlite3 package.

Thank you

@EKomateas ran into a similar problem in https://github.com/JoshuaWise/better-sqlite3/issues/96 -- try rolling back your global npm version to 4.3.0:

$ npm install -g [email protected]

or setting permissions in npm5:

$ npm config set unsafe-perm=true

[JoshuaWise]

@EKomateas do @reviewher's comments resolve your issue?

[regedatimon]

@reviewher thx, rolling back global npm version helps
