Thank you for your reply! I did find a work around, as explained below. I wasn't very worried about the fingerprinting, I was simply trying to get the thing to compile and install, as I'm only semi proficient at Linux programming. It was easier for me to figure out the dependency than trying to edit code I wasn't 100% sure I could remove without issue.
