Meson error when installing SageMath 10.8

Hi, I've been trying to install SageMath 10.8 on Ubuntu 22.04 with regards to https://sagemanifolds.obspm.fr/install_ubuntu.html . I got an error when running this command  MAKE="make -j8" make, stating “Error installing package sagelib-10.8
” which turns out to be “a Meson bug” in the log file. The log file is attached.

/etc/ is a very strange place to install programs to, perhaps meson gets confused by it.
Normally speaking, on linux one would have a home directory associated with a user  account, say /home/heming, and programs like Sage are installed there..
