This looks like an Openshift permissions problem - see also nodejs/node-gyp#959

Sometimes npm install --unsafe-perm "fixes" these sort of things.

[jchapelle]

Just tried that with no luck ...

@jchapelle Were you able to make any progress?

[jchapelle]

Hello, Thanks for the contact. I actually couldn't make any progress. The application is deployed in openshift but I still got a list of errors during each deployment

@jchapelle Thanks for the update. Let's leave this open in case others with more experience of Openshift can help.

Great thanks

I'm going to close this as there have been no further reports of what appears to be a permissions problem specific to Openshift and/or node-gyp.
