Installing st: Fatal Error
I’m very new to Linux. Currently tinkering with Nobara and wanted to install st. I was able to successfully install it last night but when I started attempting to patch it for customization purposes I think I messed something up. I had needed to remove st multiple times and re-install so I could start fresh and fix my errors. Now when I attempt to run make clean install I get a host of errors related to packages that are installed but can’t seem to be found?

I’m not sure why these issues are occurring now. Could someone help point me in the right direction to troubleshoot? I’m really lost on how to proceed even though the error output seems to be giving me some pretty explicit instructions.
Thanks in advance :)–
