Error while trying to install genieacs via npm in Ubuntu 16.04

[Sergio Fernández]

Hello!

I am facing some issues when using the version from https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x instead of the nodejs-legacy packet in Ubuntu.

When I try to install genieacs via npm, here is the full output:

tecnico@GenieACS:~$ sudo npm install -g genieacs

I don't even know how to start. I've instaled some versions of node-gyp, others from libxml, but that doesn't solve it. GenieACS depends also in Redis, MongoDB, Ruby On Rails.. but all of them are correct installed. Can you guide me in order to what to try next?
Thank you very much,

Sergio Férnandez

PS. I am doing a guide for the people who want to use GenieACS, and this is the most problematic part for the users. There are other ways of installing GenieACS correctly, but I wanted to explain the correct way in Ubuntu 16.04 (The actual guides are for Ubuntu 14.04)

[Davide Abrigo]

Same thing here, i get this error when trying to install GenieACS on Debian 8.6, with both Node.js v6 and v7 from Node repos. Also tried to install using the Git repo but the same error occurs. Redis and MongoDB are correctly installed. Probably a missing dependency on a system package?
Here are the packages i've installed following the notes on the Git wiki (https://github.com/zaidka/genieacs/wiki/Installation-in-Debian-8.6):

sudo apt-get install zip unzip curl checkinstall build-essential zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline6-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev

PS: i'm writing a guide too ;)
