I get a similar error when trying to compile in Ubuntu 18.04. Ubuntu did not even have gcc, nor allow me to install gcc, without some deep searching on the web to find half a dozen "solutions" which didn't work. Once I found one which allowed me to install gcc, and build-essential, I got the same error as you did.

I wish I could be more help, but all I can say is that this works out of the box with Linux Mint. And since Mint is an offshoot of Ubuntu, with the broken parts fixed, then it's possible to also fix Ubuntu - but I won't be trying that.

Ubuntu, like Microsoft, has apparently decided that computers are "content delivery systems", no longer usable for "computing".

Thanks for the feedback, Irv.

I have already downloaded Mint 19.2 and will install it as soon as I have everything backed up.

Regards, Ken
