I’m trying to install the latest release UE4.26 on Ubuntu 18.04.5LTS.
Setup.sh and GenerateProjectFiles.sh seem to run fine.
The failure comes at the very beginning of the make.

I’ve seen some posts on the forums with similar errors due to permissions. But in my case the directory is owned and read/writeable by the user jon.
I came across the same error while trying to compile UE 4.27. Both ./Setup.sh and ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh ran successfully. Yet while compiling with make parallelly (as well without -j3), I came across:

BTW, I am on VoidLinux running release running in kernel v 5.4.144. Thanks!
