I encountered an error while trying to install sqlite3 via npm on FreeBSD 9.

• The error I encountered stated:

  npm ERR! Failed at the sqlite3@2.2.7 install script 'node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build'.
  npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the sqlite3 package,
  npm ERR! not with npm itself.
  npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:
  npm ERR!     node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build
  npm ERR! You can get their info via:
  npm ERR!     npm owner ls sqlite3
  npm ERR! There is likely additional logging output above.
  
  npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:
  npm ERR!     /usr/local/www/owncloud/npm-debug.log
  

• To workaround this problem, I needed to add the --sqlite=/usr/local argument:
  

  npm install -g sqlite3 --sqlite=/usr/local
