No, it failed because your machine is missing some files required by one of the libraries Workbench uses.
I found this issue in the library's Github issue queue, but I can confirm that I am running Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (Python 3.10.6) without any issues. You may need to have gcc installed but that's just a guess based on the error message (see https://www.linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-gcc-compiler-on-ubuntu-22-04-lts/).

FYI, I've opened https://github.com/mjordan/islandora_workbench/issues/569 to track this problem.

Thanks for confirming that installing gcc worked. I am going to try to replicate the functionality of that library so we can remove it as one of Workbench's dependencies.
