First things first
What does rustc --version tell you?
Second thing
try running sudo apt install build-essential and then try the build again

Try:
cargo install --locked dweb-cli
And copy the output here, but put three backticks ``` on the line before and after.
You might also check the README and make sure you follow all those instructions.

Thank you. Yes I should have checked the README first, I was missing librust-openssl-dev 
Great work BTW.

dweb v0.8.1
A handful of changes but important ones so I recommend updating ASAP:
cargo install dweb-cli
Once you have this, why not try @riddim’s latest masterpiece ‘Billboard’ possibly NSFW (be nice people):
dweb open b6da6740bc5394f9ac0e6a6fa5a42f7f587d3aeaa48fd23ae9a45bef95b571a32429b0353148aa9e04f17cd6da57d179
Changes in v0.8.1
- deterministic port allocation: the first contribution from another dev, thank you @riddim for that which ensures the same app will always open on the same port and so can use local storage for session related data. App developers should note that settings not be accessible between versions of their app. We chose to keep these isolated per version as discussed here.
- archives include both History and version when using
dweb publishso that upon opening, dweb will know both even when opening an Archive address that is part of a dweb published History. - other tweaks including some imrovements to the README
Codeberg rocks! 
I have also migrated dweb and the dweb demo apps from Github to Codeberg, an EU based non-profit. This was very easy and I’m much more comfortable having an EU based repository where members get a say than using a US corporate server where profit and arbitrary political directives have precedence. See:
I’ll be updating links all over the place for a while and migrating everything else over time.

Sorry to report that I am broken again with scratchchat in the latest release. I do notice that the port remains consistent when I restart, thank you for that. Other apps are working well. I am using the /dweb-open/v/scratchchat/ address.

Are you opening the old ScratchChat? I didn’t update it yet.
If the source contains 8080 you’re using the old version and need to open with the address I gave you until I update the History.

Awesome. I’ll try and get more items for the games section up after the competition

@Southside and others think dweb needs a different default port than 8080 and I agree, but what? 
Unless someone who actually knows about port allocation tells me I should stick with 8080 I’ll change this soon and we’ll see how it goes but it should be fine afaik. 8080 is such a nice number though.
I’m still open to suggestions, but the guidance on Wikipedia seems to be pretty straightforward. I’d like to choose a number that is both memorable, cool 
and unlikely to be in use. Unf. those don’t all go together.
A little research suggests:
- stay away from <1024 (root required) and >49451 (dynamic/private)
- search for any candidate to avoid commonly used ones
- starting with 8 kindof maybe implies HTTP
Some tempting options:
- 1618 (alluding to the Golden Ratio 1.618)
- 4325 (x10^16 is the number of configurations for the Rubik’s cube)
- 1974 (the year the Rubik’s cube was invented)
- 9110
- 5550 homage to the wonderful 555 Timer chips
- 5537 first four digits of the DMS coordinates of Irvine, Ayrshire: 55°37’9.84" N -4°39’18.29" W
I could go on but ten minutes if probably long enough!
I quite like 5537. It doesn’t show up in use anywhere is memorable and not an obvious number for someone to choose as far as I can see.

5554 is the N coord for the site of original office in Troon
Edit
Hmmmm
port search,find port by number, 21500 udp/tcp port numbers/descriptions,library

however 5548 is free and marks the site of the short-lived posh “corporate offices” in Heathfield Ayr

I considered Ayr but quite liked getting Irvine and Ayreshire in association.

Thats in the IoM
5560 is free and is Irvine Harbour - resting place of the Garnock (In Rust we Trust) which may well be Davids long term project once he finishes footering in the robot Lab
I’ll try to find an image at high tide so you can see the boat better
