The error message is saying that "cc" isn't a recognised program. Either you have no C compiler installed or "make" hasn't been configured to use it by default.

What does which gcc report? If it finds something, try make CC=gcc.

Hi Thanks for the speedy response!

which gcc doesn't return anything.

rebecca@rebecca-ThinkPad-L14-Gen-1:~$ which gcc
rebecca@rebecca-ThinkPad-L14-Gen-1:~$

I assume that means i haven't got a c compiler installed as you suggested. Which would make sense as I clean installed ubuntu a couple of days ago

sudo apt install build-essential

Should be the right thing then.

If this works, please close the issue... Thx
