Currently, there isn't.

I don't know exactly what is this problem that you are having, never saw it, but from what I could read, it's probably because you have a incorrect installation of Visual Studio.

Can you try reinstalling it? If possible try a more recent version, like Visual Studio 15

from node-libcurl.

ok I installed Visual Studio 2015 with C#, and C++ modules and it finally worked.

I guess the libcurl module can't work on linux, as it needs visual studio ?..
Can I maybe paste the compiled node_modules/node-libcurl folder from windows to my nodejs linux folder ?

from node-libcurl.

Visual Studio is a Windows only dependency, since its the most supported C++ compiler for that platform.
You don't need Visual Studio on Linux, your Linux distribution should already have a C++ compiler called gcc. Just make sure it's at the version 4.8 or above.

Also, pasting is not going to work, since it was compiled on a different os/architecture.
