I'm rather new to the Node.js/npm world, but this post seems relevant:

electron-userland/electron-prebuilt#264

Based on that, there may a version problem with the "sumchecker" package. You could try:

npm list sumchecker

to find out which version you currently have, then

npm install sumchecker@2.02

and then re-cross-compile. Or maybe

npm install sumchecker@2.01

Depending on how you are doing the build, you might need to add the '-g' flag to the npm commands above.
