ninja error with skia-canvas build on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)

I've been trying to follow the build instructions and rebuild skia-canvas on aarch64 + Ubuntu but I am getting the following error with ninja. Building my own binary of ninja did not help

You might try setting the env var SKIA_NINJA_COMMAND to the full path of your ninja executable. See also: https://github.com/rust-skia/rust-skia/issues/535#issuecomment-874686594
