npm install grpc is failing on ubuntu 16.04.

[sanm...@gmail.com]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to install grpc on ubuntu 16.04. But it is failing with below error. I have installed libgrpc-dev and libgrpc0. Not sure what is the issue.

vagrant@fabric:~/hyperledger/fabric-samples/fabcar$ npm install grpc

> gr...@1.11.3 install /home/vagrant/hyperledger/fabric-samples/fabcar/node_modules/grpc
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build --library=static_library

The linked bug has now been fixed, and gr...@1.13.1 depends on the version with the fix, so you should no longer see that failure.
