Ok, good to hear that it works now. Thanks for the feedback.

[fivdi]

Can you post the complete output of the command npm install i2c-bus please?

Of course, here's the entire output.

Okay... this is weird. I retried removing and installing the package and now it went fine.
Not sure what was the issue, but it seems to work fine now so I'm closing the issue. ;-)

@jorisvervuurt , what did you do to fix this, I'm having the same issue, I am using Big Sur 11.2.3, and when I try to install node-gyp:

npm install -g node-gyp

The result is:
npm ERR! code ENOTFOUND
npm ERR! syscall getaddrinfo
npm ERR! errno ENOTFOUND
npm ERR! network request to https://registry.npmjs.org/node-gyp failed, reason: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND myproxy.example.com

I am not behind a proxy. I am running node v15.11.0

@SPlatten the error you are seeing is not related to the error I experienced. It seems either the npm registry was temporarily unreachable or you are experiencing internet connectivity issues.
