I can't run catkin_make after having installed ros-melodic-ros-base on my RPi4 running Ubuntu 18.04.

Here's the error:

I'm sorry to have to do this for something seemingly minor, but please don't post screenshots of terminal text in question on ROS Answers. It's all text, so there is no need. Just copy-paste the text from the terminal into your question text. Do make sure to format it properly by selecting the text and pressing ctrl+k (or clicking the Preformatted Text button (the one with 101010 on it)).

You don't need to post a new question, just edit your curent one. You can use the edit button/link for this.

After you replace the screenshot with the error message itself, we can re-open your question.
