Apologies for the inconvenience, I accidentally replied to the wrong message. I am using Debian 13 Trixie. So, I have solved the build problem by installing the ncurs packages: curses-base, ncurses-bin, ncurses-doc, ncurses-examples, ncurses-hexedit, ncurses-term
However, when I execute the run-brltty comand root and without root, I get group not joined BRLTTY 6.8 rev BRLTTY-6.8-400-g62d32265 [https://brltty.app/] brltty: can't isolate namespaces brltty: executing as the invoking user: root brltty: can't set supplementary groups brltty: group not joined: 5(tty) brltty: group not joined: 20(dialout) brltty: group not joined: 29(audio) brltty: group not joined: 996(input) And, when I check for service status, it seems that brltty is not running, and also ther are no starting message on the braille display. Is there anything I am missing?
