Did my Redis compile correctly?

Question

Redis

I'm trying to install the latest stable release (6.2.3) from the source archive on Oracle Linux. After unpacking and executing the make command, I get a log in which numbered errors confuse me (I highlighted the lines with them).

After running make test, I also get errors:

cd src && make test

make[1]: *** [Makefile:368: adlist.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/redis-6.2.3/src'
make: *** [Makefile:6: test] Error 2

Am I missing some library or is there another reason?

You do not have a compiler installed, run:sudo apt install build-essential
