[webciter]

finally got it to install, think it was all the compiling software, gcc, make etc

[alexqhj]

@webciter if you no longer have any issues, perhaps close this so the maintainers save some time? :)

@webciter How did you fix this?
I have exact same issue

Issue
I had a same issue when doing npm install or yarn install.
The issue occurred to me was install process failure by compiling source code as follows.

${project}/node_modules/img-loader/node_modules/pngquant-bin/lib/install.js

binBuild.url('http://pngquant.org/pngquant-2.10.1-src.tar.gz', [
    'rm ./INSTALL',
    `./configure --prefix="${bin.dest()}"`,
    `make install BINPREFIX="${bin.dest()}"`
])

Solution
Make sure these libraries are installed on your OS.
I confirmed this solution worked on Centos7.3 and alpine on docker.

Centos

• bash
• gcc
• make
• libpng-devel

yum install -y gcc make libpng-devel

Alpine

• bash
• gcc
• make
• libpng-dev

apk add --no-cache bash libpng-dev gcc make musl-dev

@zizu21105 thanks!! This fixed it for me on CentOS 7!

for windows, users just use npm cache clean command and after that npm install -g gulp-cli
this work for me

I ran into the same issue deploying a new Laravel 5.6 application to a newly provisioned Forge server (Ubuntu 18.04.1)

Installing libpng-dev via sudo apt-get install libpng-dev sorted this for me.
