and?

not sure what you are trying to say (vanvugt).

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

We tell build failure bugs apart according to their error messages. So the error message should go in the title.

In this case it suggests you have an unusual C compiler installed as the default compiler. Can you check what this command tells you?

  cc --version
