I believe your node-gyp toolchain is using the wrong version of some dependency. See this comment which may help you

Hm, it seems that the version I currently have is okay...

macbook:~ raymond$ libtool --version
libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.6

This worked for me:

1. First, I had Visual C++ 2013 installed, then configured globally by running npm config set msvs_version 2013 --global
2. Then I ran an installation of node-gyp by running npm install node-gyp -g node-gyp
3. Finally, I installed Sqlite3 by running npm install sqlite3

@vieiralc This works me (windows), but @focussing is on a Mac.
