Hi Ben,

yes although though are "errors" they are "optional" - eg see the line 41 "npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing node-icu-charset-detector@0.0.7" - so although it failed it continues Ok - so in fact it is built ok.

The base set of Node-RED does work fine... - of course if you add extra nodes then some of them may require gyp to work properly - but then the non slim version should be ok.
