Info
I am trying to compile a rust project from github. I installed rust via curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh (as user, not root) and have successfully used it to compile some other projects. The failure looks like this:

I'm at a loss as to why the build fails in my distro but succeeds in the docker container. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks!
