Thanks nchatz314.
My system:
Kernel: 6.5.0-1022-oem x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A Desktop: MATE 1.26.0 info: mate-panel
wm: Metacity 3.44.0 dm: LightDM 1.30.0 Distro: Linux Mint 21.2 Victoria base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy
Guile would be fine if it runs fine on Mac and Linux. (I've got a friend from work who uses Mac computers.)
Chickadee would be fine if it also handles Mac and Linux.
As you can see in the log above it claims libturbojpeg0-dev is already the newest version (2.0.3-0ubuntu1.20.04.3).
Yet when building Chickadee it can't seem to find libturbojpeg.
I'm not sure what the 0 is about but this is what comes with Mint.
I was hoping to avoid installing guix as that drags down TONS of extra data.
