Jeff, Just built GC4.9 on Linux Mint 20.2 (Ubuntu 20.04 based) with no problems. Give it a go and come back to the forum with the terminal output if there are any problems. You can select any terminal output and cut and paste it into a text file then attache the text file to the post to avoid putting it directly in the post. David Cousens
