      The error said:

      Could not successfully build retroarch - Retroarch - front end to libreto emulator cores - required by all lr-* emulators (/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/retroarch/retroarch not found).

          There should be a log file in $HOME/RetroPie/logs/ $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs/, which contains the actual error. I was referring to that file's contents. You can remote the existing logs, then attempt another installation to get a fresh log file.

            @mitu It's $HOME/Retropie-Setup/logs/

              I can't find that log.

              I use this tutorial " https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/ " to install Retropie in Raspbian Buster version.

              How I can delete all the Retropie-Setup directory to get a clean and fresh intallation.

                Just delete it using rm, then clone it again.

                  @mitu I don't know what is the complete command.
                  I have to text only "rm RetroPie-Setup" or I have to use sudo too? This my first time handling a Raspbery Pi.

                    No, sudo shouldn't be needed.

                    This my first time handling a Raspbery Pi.

                    Then I suggest you install from a pre-made image that you can download from retropie.org.uk/download.

                      But the tutorial link in that page only install from the source, and not the downloaded one pre-made image that you recommend me which is in my download folder.

                        A manual installation is preferred when you already have a system installed and perhaps some other things installed on it. If you're not in that situation, then you should start with a pre-made image and not a manual installation. It's just an alternative method of getting RetroPie working on a Raspberry Pi.

                        The RetroPie image is based on Raspbian Lite, so if you're starting from scratch, there's no reason to prefer a manual installation over the premade image.

                            @Oldies4ever How are you installing RetroPie ? RetroArch installs fine from source with the latest RetroPie version.

                                Can't reproduce the error - did you modify anything in your config.txt (disabling KMS) ? Don't you have a binary installation option for RetroArch ?

                                  Hello @mitu

                                  Thank you very much for your hint about KMS in the config.txt file.
                                  I really didn't paid attention to this.
                                  It was really commented, I don't know why. I didn't ever edit this file.
                                  Now the installation has finished successfully.

                                  The solution was really uncomment the two lines below regarding KMS dtoverlay into /boot/config.txt (and restart) :

                                  [pi4]
# Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver on top of the dispmanx display stack
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2

[all]
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
start_x=0
gpu_mem=256
hdmi_enable_4kp60=1

                                  Thank's a lot for your help. I hope this topic may help many other friends to enjoy Retropie.

                                  Kind Regards.
