Node-gyp: Fails to compile with error: ZLIB_VERNUM != PNG_ZLIB_VERNUM

[Flimm]

I'm on macOS, I've installed Node and NPM with Homebrew.

When I try to install lwip, I get this error:

$ npm install -g lwip
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: This package is discontinued. Use lodash@^4.0.0.

> [email protected] install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/lwip

The most relevant line I think is this:

That's a problem with the module you're trying to build, not node-gyp. I can't help you but try filing an issue with lwip.

Sorry, I meant to file this in lwip, I'm not sure how I ended up here 😕
