Several packages behave differently when built as root (E.G. your npm issues), and Buildroot is specifically made to not require root permissions and be used from normal users. E.G. from the manual: Important: you can and should build everything as a normal user. There is no need to be root to configure and use Buildroot. By running all commands as a regular user, you protect your system against packages behaving badly during compilation and installation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
