Title: Installing on Ubuntu - Frustrated
Post by: cditty on January 03, 2025, 08:10:30 PM

Can anyone help with this?  I have been trying to install attractmode on a fresh ubuntu install for the last 3 days and can't get anywhere.  I'm trying to follow the instructions from the AM website but when I try make, I get the following errors.

Not a solution but I'm getting the same error on a system on which I already successfully compiled it. Difference is I was trying to recompile with curl installed this time. I get the same error if I attempt after uninstalling curl.
