      So, I started over from scratch. Followed the directions a bit more carefully. Only difference is I started with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS again, rather than 18.04 as listed in the instructions.

      While compiling Emulationstation, I noticed the following:

      = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Building 'emulationstation' : EmulationStation - Frontend used by RetroPie for launching emulators
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Error: unable to open display 
Error: unable to open display 
dpkg: error: --compare-versions bad relation

      Is this anything about which I should be worried?

        The messages are from the GL version detection part, which is going to error out if you're running the installation outside of a desktop environment. I'm not familiar with a XU4, but I don't see the platform declared with the x11 flag in RetroPie, so I don't see why it tries the detection. What system is detected by RetroPie-Setup for your system - it should be displayed on the 1st dialog ?
