Cannot find -ledit

[VoR0220]

I've installed libedit-dev on debian buster and tried following the steps of running CC=clang make and get the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible //usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libedit.so when searching for -ledit
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible //usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libedit.a when searching for -ledit
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ledit

what could be causing this?

Did you install the i386 version of libedit-dev by chance?

I tried but it seems apt-get couldn't find it?

Whoops. Figured it out. Never had to add a different architecture specific package before so bit noobish. Anyone lost use this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/472808/why-cant-apt-get-install-the-i386-version-of-any-package
