Can't use custom libvips when installing with pnpm (works fine with npm)

[RebeccaStevens]

Possible install-time or require-time problem

• I have read and understood all of the documentation relating to installation.
• I have searched for known bugs relating to this problem in my choice of package manager.

You must confirm both of these before continuing.

Are you using the latest version of sharp?

• I am using the latest version of sharp as reported by npm view sharp dist-tags.latest.

If you cannot confirm this, please upgrade to the latest version and try again before opening an issue.

If you are using another package which depends on a version of sharp that is not the latest,
please open an issue against that package instead.

Are you using a supported runtime?

• I am using Node.js with a version that satisfies ^18.17.0 || ^20.3.0 || >=21.0.0
• I am using Deno
• I am using Bun

If you cannot confirm any of these,
please upgrade to the latest version
and try again before opening an issue.

Are you using a supported package manager and installing optional dependencies?

• I am using npm >= 10.1.0 with --include=optional
• I am using yarn >= 3.2.0
• I am using pnpm >= 7.1.0 with --no-optional=false
• I am using Deno
• I am using Bun

If you cannot confirm any of these, please upgrade to the latest version of your chosen package manager
and ensure you are allowing the installation of optional or multi-platform dependencies before opening an issue.

What is the complete error message, including the full stack trace?

> tsx ./run.ts

What is the complete output of running npm install --verbose --foreground-scripts sharp in an empty directory?

Is there an equivalent to this command I can run for pnpm?

Here's the npm version's output which is all as expected:

Workaround

Adding this to my package.json seems to force things to work right.
