Clang and libtinfo.so.5

Unity Engine

After doing a complete system reinstall and installing Unity I cannot build for WebGL.
Found some solutions online about ‘symlink’ some files and installing ‘libtinfo’ and others packages on apt, but none haved worked.

For future reference. I installed Unity-Hub in the ‘Software Manager’ of my distro, and it uses flatpak (sandboxed package manager).
When you start any project on it, it also runs Unity-Editor in sandbox too, and you can’t get access to ‘/usr/lib’ and ‘/lib/’

Solution is to remove Unity-Hub (flatpak remove unity) and installing/running from what is provided by Start Your Creative Projects and Download the Unity Hub | Unity

If you are still having problem with a python crash while building just install python2 in your package manager.
