Sharp.js v0.33 not working in combination with pnpm

[ZoranRavic]

Starting with version 0.33.0 sharp made a major overhaul of installation where they changed how prebuilt binaries are installed.

This introduced an issue on Vercel where if you are using pnpm then the prebuilt binaries for sharp 0.33.x wont be included in the deployment build and you'll end up with this error message:

Error: Could not load the "sharp" module using the linux-x64 runtime
ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED: libvips-cpp.so.42: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Possible solutions:
- Add platform-specific dependencies:
    npm install --os=linux --cpu=x64 sharp
  or
    npm install --force @img/sharp-linux-x64
- Consult the installation documentation: https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install

As a workaround you can downgrade sharp to 0.32.6.

Alternatively you can use npm instead of pnpm, which will allow you to continue using the latest versions of sharp.

Hopefully someone from Vercel will see this and find a way to resolve the issue with using pnpm.
