Hi, it looks a Python problem rather than a Kodi problem, like the Python version you are using for the build is wrong. I need more info about your setup, for example, distribution you are using, version, etc.

Yes. Clearly.

Using Ubuntu

music@music-OptiPlex-790:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 21.10
Release:    21.10
Codename:   impish

FIXED: it had something to do with python2-pip, openjpeg, python-pil. Working on making sure these were installed seemed to have removed all errors.
