When Running install.sh script fails at cargo run

[apothan]

OS: Debian GNU/Linux 10

Description:
After installing postgres, yarn and rust then setting up the database I ran install.sh. This caused the error. I walked through the install.sh file command by command and I found that this error was occuring at cargo run (originally though at yarn build). I got the output through cargo run --verbose .

Error Output:
error: linking with cc failed: exit code: 1

I googled the error, looks like a GCC / rust issue that has nothing to do with lemmy:

rust-fuzz/afl.rs#141
https://dev.to/rrampage/cargo-refused-to-build-my-project---a-rust-debugging-story-25e9

I'm also not sure what version of rust you're on, what your OS is, etc. In the meantime, you can run the docker development.

I found the issue. It was missing the libpq-dev library on Debian 10 stable even after installing postgres and build essentials.
