The problem

Hi, I have a Dell tablet with a brand new installation of Linux Mint Mate.
I followed the installation steps from this page https://bkbilly.gitbook.io/lnxlink/setup. When I get to the step 6, everything works fine until it gets here:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

hermann@hermann-Latitude-5175:~$ meson --version
1.1.1

First time I checked meson --version it said indeed 0.61.2 then I ran
pip3 install --update meson
as recommended on the meson page and now it shows version 1.1.1, but the installation still fails with the same error.
Any ideas what went wrong?

You can find the same issue on a previously closed issue #59
I'll update the installation instructions with the fix.
