When trying to install the DisplayLink drivers on Linux Ubuntu Mint Distribution, I get an error during the installation script.

[[ Installing EVDI library ]]
cc -I../module -std=gnu99 -fPIC -c -o evdi_lib.o evdi_lib.c
In file included from evdi_lib.c:5:

I have the exact same problem on a clean installation of Linux Mint 20 / Ubuntu 20.04
Kernel: 5.4.0-42-generic
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
