Hi i've been trying to install most of the day but none of the fixes / work around mentioned seem to work. Please could you help?

I should mention that g++ and build-essential are both installed. I also get the same error running node 6.9.1.

Was getting this but then I installed/updated build-essential & it started working: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo

Let me know if that helps you too.

I had the same issue and I solved it by installing gcc5 and g++5. Take a look a this comment : node-inspector/node-inspector#776 (comment)

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-5 g++-5
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 80 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-5
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc (choose gcc-5 from the list)
