   Good ${greeting_time}, Anna!   
      
   07 Feb 2021 10:17:00, you wrote to Mark Seifert:   
      
    MS>> 1) Any one possibly tell me why everytime I try to "make" I get   
    MS>> errors, snap, flatpack, appimage, .deb and rpm work fine but if I   
    MS>> have to try to "make" it fails. Any suggestions..?   
    ACN> When make fails, you should be able to see an error message that   
    ACN> could tell you "why" it failed. If some .h files are missing, you   
    ACN> could search for the corresponding -dev package and install it.   
      
   In a properly designed systems you'd never need to install the development   
   packages: they should be installed only inside of a clean build environment.   
      
    ACN> Also, the meta-package "build-essential" is helpful when compiling   
    ACN> packages.   
      
   I'd never use the system where such package does really exist...   
      
    MS>> 2) Does/Did anyone else upgrade to Linux Mint only to have it tell   
    MS>> you that your network cable is unplugged when the live cd found it   
    MS>> as connected, but the actual install fails.   
    ACN> Maybe a package containing firmware files for the network hardware   
    ACN> is missing in the installation?   
      
   Or the kernel was built improperly.
