Error: File to import not found or unreadable

I'm having a problem running FoundationPress new install.
I thought it might be something to do with gcc compiler, but I'm not sure. It looks like the @import of the _settings.scss file on line 42 doesn't go anywhere... not sure why my files are corrupted...
I've run previous verisons of FoundationPress with no problem, but can't quite work out what I'm doing wrong at this point:

$ npm run build

foundationpress@2.2.0 build /Users/Ben/Desktop/CPlusFoundation6
gulp build

Does the folder assets/components/foundation-sites exist after running npm run build? If it does not exist you might want to check out issue #622. You might have the same problem which was solved by correcting npm permissions as suggested in issue #596

thanks very much… the folder was missing
I fixed permissions on the subfolders lib/node_modules, bin, and share, as suggested:
https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions
after that I had to install FoundationPress from start, and it worked a treat… Cheers!
