'npm install bcrypt' fails on Ubuntu 17.04 64 bit

I am trying to install bcrypt as a node dependency:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/bcrypt

My environment:

• Ubuntu 17.04, 64 bit
• node v6.11.0
• npm v4.2.0

I have followed the instructions for Ubuntu:

https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js/wiki/Installation-Instructions#ubuntu-and-derivatives---elementary-linux-mint-etc

The installation seems to hang on the node-pre-gyp build.

Stack trace:

$ npm install bcrypt

    bcrypt@1.0.2 install /XXXXXX/node_modules/bcrypt
    node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

module.js:472
throw err;

Interestingly, I can install node-pre-gyp with npm, but node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build still fails.

Any advice?
