I was trying to build the substrate-node-template (https://docs.substrate.io/tutorials/v3/create-your-first-substrate-chain/) for the first time. I am using WSL2 with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

I came to the step of cargo build --release and I got the following error:

Compiling tikv-jemalloc-sys v0.4.3+5.2.1-patched.2
error: failed to run custom build command for `tikv-jemalloc-sys v0.4.3+5.2.1-patched.2`

Caused by:

I already tried the solutions proposed https://github.com/gnzlbg/jemallocator/issues/148 and https://blog.csdn.net/weixin_36941283/article/details/124361536 but no luck.

The issue has resulted in me not being able to proceed with the command ./target/release/node-template --dev because it fails and cannot find the directoy /node-template.

Thank you.

P.s first time stack exchange poster, please let me know if my formatting is incorrect.
