Can you go into your .node-red folder and try to install it manually please, then post the full log here. The command (from the .node-red folder) is
npm install node-red-contrib-xbee

You need to be in directory /home/pi/.node-red before you npm install.

Ps, do you have build-essential installed?

sudo apt-get install build-essential

I have a feeling this is an issue with your node version. I recommend reverting to v14 or V12.

Also, search this forum for 'serial build error', it's been covered and solved many times.

For the future please copy/paste logs rather than posting screenshots, they are much easier to read.
