Hi @Ciren1211

I'll try to help.

I am on a le potato and running rasbian 11

Can you explain what le potato is?

The rasbian is the very old name of the Rasberry Pi OS. Can you clarify what distro you are using?

Please run the following and post the results:

$ lsusb

: 6.1.46-08797-g9c18484153bc (kernel version)
: gcc (Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110

The likely cause is shown in the above 2 lines. You are running kernel 6.1 which is likely compiled by gcc-12 but then the installed gcc is showing as gcc10. That is too big of a gap. The quickest fix is likely to install gcc-12:

$ sudo apt install gcc-12
