Hello @Deleplace you might want to try running

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Then try running the installation again.

Did that resolve your issue, @Deleplace ?

Hi Ron, thanks for the friendly reminder.

According to dpkg -l and my /var/log/dpkg.log.* files, I already had "build-essential" installed since many months.

I wanted to reproduce the issue today and then try to reinstall "build-essential", however

make clean install

worked out-of-the-box this time, for some reason!

I still don't know the root cause of my failed build in Feb, it might or might not be related to my underprovisioned system partition sometimes running low of disk space.
