The section lists out some particular error messages you may run into, and explains how to deal with them.
#### Unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja"
Solution to try: If you do in fact already have Ninja installed, then first try reinstalling Ninja.
Details: If you see the message *“Unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja"”*, it’s likely not an indication that the build tooling can’t actually find Ninja, but instead an indication that the tooling found Ninja but it failed to run successfully.

```
ninja -C Build/ladybird
```
Then, based on what output you get from that, you can troubleshoot the *actual* problem you’re running into — which may involve uninstalling your current Ninja install, and then re-installing it.
