If you are getting an error when running `make` similar to

```bash
/home/pedro/online/scripts/unocommands.py --check /home/pedro/online
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pedro/online/scripts/unocommands.py", line 13, in <module>
    from lxml import etree
ImportError: /usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/lxml/etree.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: PyFPE_jbuf

```

Please check if you do not have important Python updates. This was my case, where python3-lxml was not yet updated (openSUSE Leap 15.2).

After doing the appropriated updates on your package manager the build should work properly afterwards.

Hi pedro I ended up configuring my file within a Python virtual environment , because the python3-lxml was producing a similar error. Everything was configured and works however when i enter \> " ```

> make -j $(nproc)"

I get a bunch of errors. Here is the excerpt of my error logs

```auto

I think I found the error. POCO was not installed properly so the make file was not working.
