have you tried npm install node-libcurl --build-from-source ?

How to fix the issue ? . And my npm version 6.4.1

[ramgp]

I think the reason is because it depends on node-libcurl@^1.2.0 which is pretty old. If your linux or OS version of libcurl is greater than 7.58 or so you will get the error.

e.g. on Ubuntu 18.04 it works which ships with libcurl4@7.58, but on more recent versions of it a newer version of libcurl4 is used which leads to this error during install.
