Answer 1

I had a similar error so I installed g++ that seemed to fix the issue for me.

sudo apt-get install g++

Then just run:

make

again.. and then:

sudo make install

Then you can check if node is installed with:

node -v

and you should see the version of node your running.

Answer 2

You are maybe missing one or more of the compilation dependencies

sudo zypper install make gcc gcc-c++ glibc-devel

Answer 3

I had same problem. I ran those commands in external storage. Move them to your home and follow commands.

Answer 4

I was able to get around this error by by :

./configure --without-snapshot

before the

make & make install
