Install fails on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: failed to run custom build command for jemalloc-sys v0.3.2

[nachoguru]

I'm not a Rust or C++ programmer, I just use a few tools written in Rust. One of them (fd-find) depends on jemallocator ^0.3.0 and does not build on a new Ubuntu 20.04 LTS VM on Digital Ocean.

Not sure if this is just a Digital Ocean thing, or just an Ubuntu 20.04 thing, or something new in Linux kernel 5.4.0 but I thought I would at least report it in case it is useful to you.

rustc -V
rustc 1.41.0

uname -a
Linux u20do 5.4.0-26-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 20 16:58:30 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

When I ran my usual cargo install of handy command line tools:

cargo install exa fd-find rage ripgrep tokei

...everything installed except fd-find, which died here:

error: failed to run custom build command for `jemalloc-sys v0.3.2`

Caused by:

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you test or diagnose.

In case these are helpful:

Output of uname -srm is:

Linux 5.4.0-26-generic x86_64

Output of lsb_release -a is:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release:        20.04
Codename:       focal

[sfackler]

apt-get install make

[nachoguru]

...and we're in business! cargo install fd-find ran fine after that.

Thank you @sfackler

[LCLSpring]

apt-get install make

it solve my problem, too. thank you very much.

[lceni]

apt-get install make

Thank you. It also solves my problem when compiling solana on ubuntu/aarch64:

--- stderr thread 'main' panicked at 'failed to execute command: No such file or directory (os error 2)', /root/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/tikv-jemalloc-sys-0.4.2+5.2.1-patched.2/build.rs:329:19

[cpertile]

apt-get install make

This also solves the issue when installing LunarVim on Arch Linux under WSL, albeit it is sudo pacman -S make

[sameerdhoot]

Not directly related to issue. I was trying to build a substrate-node on my Windows 11 machine using WSL 2.0. The build for tikv-jemalloc-sys-0.4.3+5.2.1-patched.2 always failed.

To resolve the issue, I had to run:

sudo apt install make
