[Azwaliyana]

I got this error while installing OSSEC HIDS version 3.7.0.

  Error 0x5. Building error. Unable to finish the installation.

What is the problem? How can I solve this?

Experiencing the same issue - building on Ubuntu 20.04.3. Any update on this?

Don't know what OS @Azwaliyana is running, but on Ubuntu 20.04, the solution was to apt install -y libsystemd-dev

Once I did so, installation proceeded without the above error.
