We have the following error in our gulp build script:

> gifsicle@2.0.1 postinstall C:\projects\rallybus\node_modules\imagemin-gifsicle\node_modules\gifsicle
> node lib/install.js




‼ read ECONNRESET 
  ‼ gifsicle pre-build test failed 
  i compiling from source 
  × Error: autoreconf -ivf && ./configure --disable-gifview --disable-gifdiff --prefix="C:\projects\rallybus\node_modules\imagemin-gifsicle\node_modules\gifsicle\vendor" --bindir="C:\projects\rallybus\node_modules\imagemin-gifsicle\node_modules\gifsicle\vendor" && make install
Command failed: 'autoreconf' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

at maybeClose (child_process.js:766:16)
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:833:5) </code>

This error doesn't happen on our machines, so we're stumped. Have you ever seen anything about autoreconf and, by chance, know how we can fix this error? I'm thinking we need to install something else in our yml file.

Here's the install section of our yml file:

install:
  - npm install -g npm bower gulp
  - npm install
  - bower install

Thanks!

   I'm sorry to hear that this issue affected your builds as well.

   There are networking connectivity issues between Hyper-V (Pro) environment and https://raw.githubusercontent.com: http://help.appveyor.com/discussions/problems/1906-sporadic-econnre...

   We are working together with SoftLayer and GitHub to troubleshoot the issue.

   The issue is not reproducible if build runs on Azure.

   1-2 days ago. Some builds worked properly but we are having this issue lately.

   I am confused. From the error it looks like the build environment doesn't know what Autoreconf is.

   Is this just a misleading error message from npm?

   Lol yes...

   But not within the context of Appveyor. Encountering on running a yeoman generator.

   This is the only meaningful match I can find in Google.

    Instead of getting `ECONNRESET`, I get `Redirected 10 times, Aborting.`

   ```
   > gifsicle@3.0.1 postinstall C:\dev\Angular Testing\node_modules\gifsicle
   > node lib/install.js

     ‼ Redirected 10 times. Aborting.
     ‼ gifsicle pre-build test failed

   Command failed: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /s /c "autoreconf -ivf"
