Can't install on Ubuntu 22.04

[jorgeperezlara]

When running cargo install speki, I get the following output:

error: linking with cc failed: exit status: 1
error: could not compile speki due to previous error
error: failed to compile speki v0.1.11, intermediate artifacts can be found at /tmp/cargo-installzjpElz

I wonder if you could also release a linux binary instead of suggesting to compile it if we don't have Arch....

Hello, I added a direct link to the linux binary now, could you check if that works for you? I'm planning to release it to all major package managers but have a lot to do atm

FWIW, I had a similar problem -- on Linux Mint 21, so Ubuntu 22.04 -- and was able to compile after installing libsqlite3-dev.

Anyone have any updates on this? I'm trying to install it on WSL2, Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS, When using cargo install speki (with the dependencies listed already installed) I'm getting a similiar error to the first post:

   Compiling semver-parser v0.7.0
error: linker `cc` not found

  = note: No such file or directory (os error 2)

   Compiling tinyvec_macros v0.1.0

error: could not compile `libc` due to previous error
error: failed to compile `speki v0.4.4`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/tmp/cargo-installsycNH9`

I'm not having success with the linux binary either, (although I may be executing it incorrectly). I'm unpacking and then running the binary as follows:

$ tar xvzf speki-linux.tar.gz 
$ ./speki

This results in the following error:

Any idea of a fix?

@saeranv could you try:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install build-essential

?

Thanks for getting back to me! Your solution worked to solve my issue with install speki with cargo (I also had to install pkg-config). Now cargo install speki works perfectly. However... when I run speki in my terminal after installation from cargo, I'm getting the same error I had previously with the speki loaded from the downloaded binary, i.e:

Any fixes for this error?
