I am trying to install a Cardano node on a Ubuntu 18.04 LTS machine on Azure as per (https://docs.cardano.org/projects/cardano-node/en/latest/getting-started/building-the-node-using-nix.html) and everthing is fine until I get to the ‘cabal build all’ command where I get a bunch of warnings (please see below) and it doesn’t do anything. I tried ‘cabal update’ but that didn’t help any. All the previous commands worked without errors. Any suggestions appreciated.
bosr@geth:/home/cardano-node$ sudo cabal build all
