Can't build in Ubuntu 18.04 with linuxbrew

[Question posted by a user on YugabyteDB Community Slack ]

Following Build from source code on Ubuntu | YugabyteDB Docs to build YB source code on Ubuntu 18.04, but I encountered the error:

Remove ~/.linuxbrew-yb-build and run yb_build.sh --clean-thirdparty.
