Install error: cannot find -lpcsclite

[wdavo]

I have been trying to install this package without much luck. I've included the error log and a bunch of other information about my setup, i'm not sure how much of it is relevant.

Running

npm install pcsclite --verbose

The interesting part seems to be:

Running

ld -lpcsclite --verbose

pcsc-lite has notthing to do with node.js

Just use apt install pcscd
