node-gyp related error with version 3.x

[jharris4]

I get the following error when trying to install version 3.x:

sudo npm install -g verdaccio-ldap

> dtrace-provider@0.8.7 install /usr/lib/node_modules/verdaccio-ldap/node_modules/dtrace-provider
> node-gyp rebuild || node suppress-error.js

gyp ERR! configure error

+ verdaccio-ldap@3.1.0

installing version 2.x works just fine though...

I think this is likely a permissions issue due to installing with sudo.

I tried the following after the failed install:

sudo chown -R verdaccio-user /usr/lib/node_modules
sudo chgrp -R verdaccio-user /usr/lib/node_modules

And then it worked after I tried installing again.

So this is probably not a bug with verdaccio-ldap but hopefully this helps other people if they hit the same issue.

Thanks, I am sure it will help.
I have a question since you are using verdaccio-ldap with verdaccio.
It's been 2 year's I am trying and fail to use ldap with verdaccio. At that time, I was having issue during npm install, the LDAP was spammed of authentication request. It would be great if you could share your experience with that plugin.
