Fd: Install fails on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: failed to run custom build command for jemalloc-sys v0.3.2

Describe what you expected to happen:
Describe the bug you encountered:

I'm not a Rust or C++ programmer, I just use a few awesome tools written in Rust, including fd.

I spun up a new Ubuntu 20.04 LTS droplet at Digital Ocean, ran apt install rustc and when I tried to add favourite command line tools including fd:

cargo install exa fd-find rage ripgrep tokei

...everything installed except fd-find, which died here:

error: failed to run custom build command for `jemalloc-sys v0.3.2`

So I have just reported that to the jemalloc project at https://github.com/gnzlbg/jemallocator/issues/148

I don't think the issue is with fd specifically, and I don't mean to spam by posting this here too, but I just thought you should know about it in case you get other reports. (I have posted more in-depth details at that other issue since I think they can use them to fix it.)

What version of fd are you using?
Tried to install 8.0.0, failed.

Which operating system / distribution are you on?

Ah it turns out make was not on that VM by default. @sfackler suggested I run apt install make and retry, and that did the trick.

cargo install fd-find ran fine after that.

Hopefully someone else finds this useful down the line so I didn't just waste his time!

No worries. Thanks for clearing it up.
