I’m trying to compile ArduPlane for SITL simulation. I cloned the Github repo, used the Arch Linux install script to install packages for me (I use Arch, btw), and then ran ./waf configure --board sitl, and then in ArduPlane/, I ran sim_vehicle.py --osd --console --map, and I ran into this error:

That’s not the whole output of the command; it’s just where the error happens. I can post the whole output, if needed. A friend of mine who has done the same some days or weeks ago on a similar system running Manjaro has not run into this error.
