Help building smalltalk-3.2

Hi everybody,

I am trying to install smalltalk-3.2 
<https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/smalltalk/smalltalk-3.2.tar.gz> from the GNU 
ftp server on my machine (Linux Mint 22, x86-64) – would like to get it 
all running including the GTK st-browser.

But I am already stuck at the make step:

libtool: link: cannot find name of link library for 
`/home/************/smalltalk-3.2/libc.la'
make[2]: *** [Makefile:657: gst] Error 1
make[2]: Verzeichnis „/home/***********/smalltalk-3.2“ wird verlassen
make[1]: *** [Makefile:916: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Verzeichnis „/home/***********/smalltalk-3.2“ wird verlassen
make: *** [Makefile:538: all] Error 2


The file ./smalltalk-3.2/libc.la does exist.

Can you please give me some helping pointers? Thanks very much!
Michael
