How can I fix this issue? I already install brew install pkg-config gd

Hi, Isn't this message the solution?

npm ERR! Use sudo xcode-select --switch path/to/Xcode.app to specify the Xcode that you wish to use for command line developer tools, or use xcode-select --install to install the standalone command line developer tools.

I try for new install brew and npm but it's not working. so sad 😢

These are my reproduction steps:

1. Reinstall brew
2. brew install node@16
3. brew install pkg-config gd
4. npm install node-gd
5. then the error log shows

may be this issue found only in arm64

[vitorbertolucci]

You're correct, this is an ARM only issue and I've been having it for a while now. It does not compile on neither mac M1 nor M2.

[vitorbertolucci]

I managed to make it work on my Macbook M2.

There are two problems:

1 - node-gd requires an older version of Python, so you need to install Python 2.7.18 from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/

2 - node-gyp is cannot locate the gd files (gd.h, gd_io.h and so on) on the directories /opt/homebrew/include/ and /otp/homebrew/lib/, since it only looks for them on /usr/local/*. I've tried creating a symlink, but since the files under those directories are symlinks themselves I ended up having the Too many levels of symlinks error.

So I decided to simply copy the required files to /usr/local and it worked.

sudo cp -R /opt/homebrew/include/* /usr/local/include
sudo cp -R /otp/homebrew/lib/* /usr/local/lib

I'm sure there must be a more elegant way to solve this, but at least I'm no longer stuck with this issue.

[hknguyenvu]

I found the solution. You must set the environment variable

CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/homebrew/include LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib

CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/homebrew/include LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib

Reference: Automattic/node-canvas#1733

I ended up forking the project with a fix so I don't have to keep fixing it every time, you can find it here: https://github.com/vitorbertolucci/node-gd

It's also published on npm at https://www.npmjs.com/package/@vitorbertolucci/node-gd

[hknguyenvu]

Thanks. However I think I will stick with the original ^^

[y-a-v-a]

Just release v3.0.0 that might fix the M1 and M2 issues.

[y-a-v-a]

For now I'd like to close this ticket, if one has any findings with regard to M1 and/or M2, please open a new ticket so I can take a look. Thanks in advance.
