There is no binary provided for your system so you will need to compile yourself. In order to do that, you will need a Python installation.

This was working fine till last month, we had a server reboot and had to rebuild the application, that is when we had the error.

This is not specific to libxslt. You should be able to find resources on node-gyp and windows if you're still stuck.

[amaljithbroad]

The real app runs on node 12.20.1 on Linux platform with python installed .The rebuild done on 12-3-2023 caused application breakdown as the package 'libxslt' is not installing due to issue with dependent package ''node1-libxmljsmt'' installation.
You can also verify it trying installation for the package 'libxslt' now itself.

[amaljithbroad]

Iam also facing the same issue with the package installation.

[JJWins]

Please understand this issue was not identified on a windows machine. I first got this error in the jenkins server when I was rebuilding the application. So tried the installation of the package 'libxslt' in local machine for the version "0.9.0" and got the same error that we got in the jenkins server.

Please try this in your machine if possible and let mw know if it works.

Thanks

[email protected] works as expected with Python3.11.6+Node.js18.18.2+NPM9.8 in my workspace on both Linux(RHEL8 and RHEL9) and Windows, may be you can have a try

[JJWins]

Hi, thanks for the update. I tried the installation with versions you recommended but still did not work. Is there anything i am missing?

[yon11101]

It seems that your Node.js version is 18.19.0, and the default NPM version for this release has been changed to 10.2.3. The node-gyp has also been upgraded from v9 to v10, which is different from Node.js 18.18.2. It is recommended that you downgrade to Node.js 18.18.2 and give it a try.

So sorry for the confusion, you need C++ compilation environment on windows, and I'm using visualstudio2019-workload-vctools, I hope this information helps.
