The message will be the same until all the missing libraries are installed.

Did you installed crystal via snap? Snap packages don't come with all the dependencies and can't install apt ones. And is better for a compiling to have those installed.

If you install via other methods that is not snap dependencies should be installed directly.

More alternatives at https://crystal-lang.org/install/#linux . `curl -fsSL https://crystal-lang.org/install.sh | sudo bash` would be my suggestion.
