If I remember correctly, then you need to install gcc g++ & python (at least in a docker container based on node:7-alpine).

Ah.. just noticed that you are on ubuntu 16.04. According to this (old) thread, you might want to sudo apt-get install libtool automake autoconf nasm

I had the same problem running npm install inside latest Homestead, installing missing dependencies solved my issue:

$ sudo apt install pkg-config nasm

i had the same issue with the latest homestead ...

i had to install the following deps:

sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool pkg-config nasm build-essential libpng16-dev
