[SOLVED] Cargo install: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb

Issue

In Ubuntu22.04, it seemed to be lacking in libaries.

How could I solve it?

This is what the ld information is:

ld: mode elf_x86_64

ld: cannot find -lxcb: No such file or directory

Solution

Having a similar error message while trying to cargo install jless on Xubuntu 23.04, the info you may need is that lxcb is named libxcb in the package manager.

The error message I had:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb-xfixes: No such file or directory

What I did:

sudo apt install libxcb-xfixes0-dev

Hope this helps!
