Gatsby: Unable to install sharp while running yarn

[suhaga15]

This is the setup of gatsby that I'm working with:
```System:
OS: macOS 10.15.4
CPU: (4) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7360U CPU @ 2.30GHz

gatsby-source-graphql: ^2.3.0 => 2.3.0
gatsby-transformer-sharp: ^2.4.2 => 2.4.2

This is the error that comes up when I run yarn (there's more to the error log that hasn't been included here):
```../src/common.cc:23:10: fatal error: 'vips/vips8' file not found

I've already tried the following:

• Uninstalling and reinstalling expo-cli
• Using different version of node (10.16.0 and 12.14.1)
• Adding resolutions(minipass v2.7.0) for the sharp dependencies in the package.json file
• Clearing yarn cache and running yarn after that
• Deleting node_modules and yarn.lock and running yarn after that.

i'd like to add that @suhaga15 and I are working on the same repo and I don't have any issues.

here's my output from gatsby info

@suhaga15 can you see if you have libvips (I believe on MacOS it's just called vips) installed on your system already? IIRC, sharp will download libvips if it is not already installed, but if it is, then it will use that one instead. Perhaps there is a version conflict

[andrico1234]

Just for extra context, I'm having no issue with installation, and i also don't have vips installed

I tried installing vips manually using brew but that did not seem to help and we stopped trying that after realizing @andrico1234 does not have vips installed

I was actually going to suggest uninstalling it if it was installed already 🙂. It's been known to cause problems if there's a version installed already that sharp isn't expecting.

Can you see if ~/.npm/_libvips exists? That is the place sharp expects libvips to be cached

Yes ~/.npm/_libvips was present. I deleted it and ran yarn and it completed successfully. Thanks a lot for the solution

My bad, I jumped the gun a little bit!

Thanks so much for helping us!

You’re fine, @andrico1234. I’m just glad it’s working again 🙂
