It just does that any time I try to install any module that makes use of node-gyp, I'm tried reinstalling, changing the node version and doing spiritual rituals, and nothing worked, and have no idea what else to try.

Any help?

Thanks

I am also seeing this on Linux 6.1.119-1-MANJARO using Node.js 23.1.0 and npm 10.9.0. This makes me wonder if it is related to the distribution of Node.js/npm/node-gyp through the Arch Linux official repositories.

@tniessen Can you see what version of proc-log is available to both npm and node-gyp?

There was a breaking change to proc-log (https://github.com/npm/proc-log/releases/tag/v4.0.0) where the exports were nested which would result in this error. But only if node-gyp was getting the wrong version somehow.

[tniessen]

@lukekarrys With the most recent Arch Linux distribution, there is

• [email protected] at /usr/lib/node_modules/node-gyp/node_modules/proc-log and
• [email protected] at /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/proc-log.

It seems that /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/log.js is loading [email protected].

The stack trace is as follows:

/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/log.js:81

This makes me wonder if it is related to the distribution of Node.js/npm/node-gyp through the Arch Linux official repositories.

@tniessen Do you have any pointers as to where the packaging/releasing for this is taking place?

There were versions of npm and node-gyp that used incompatible versions of proc-log, but this is usually handled by npm not hoisting the shared dep so that node-gyp has access to the correct version. See the nodejs/node repo here for instance: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/dad539f0c3a6b982f95cd51c80d3f987330b4831/deps/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/node_modules/proc-log/package.json#L3

But if the release process is different (maybe its not including the npm from source? or installing both npm and node-gyp a different way?) then it could create this failure case.

[lukekarrys]

This reminds me of a different issue which sounds like it could be a similar root cause: npm/cli#6785

There was some discussion about it on the Arch Linux issue tracker as well: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/79693
