I see that there is a problem with node-gyp and rebuild that and I run into the same error.

I installed oracle instant client I installed python 2.7 I installed Visual studi0, C++ compiler libraries I did set the oracle env variables

I am not sure what I am missing. There are lots of posts about this but none of them seem to resolve this issue.

Here are some more details. node -v v6.10.3 node-gyp -v v3.6.1 npm -v 3.10.10 Python 2.7.10

Socket tunneling initially looks like its a proxy issue but its not. I am able to download other npm packages with no problem. So setting the proxies or unsetting the proxies is ruled out.
