Steps to reproduce the behaviour

The system requirement section says "GCC 10+ or Clang". I only installed Clang and it gave this error. Then I tried to install GNC and the build succeed. I think the "or" here is misleading.

try golang >= 1.20

[bap2pecs]

thanks @AskAlexSharov but I am using >= 1.20 version

$ go version
go version go1.21.3 linux/amd64

[AskAlexSharov]

go ​clean -modcache -chache
go build -v ./cmd/erigon
go env

# also just for test you can try
git checkout devel
go build ./cmd/erigon

Same issue on my side. Fresh Ubuntu+Go 1.21.4 installation, v2.57.3 -> same error message as OP.

[AskAlexSharov]

I've had the same issue on fresh Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install build-essential resolves the issue.
