Issues with ```mojo build``` accross different OSes (fedora 42, debian 12 bookworm)

This is the error i am encountering every time, regardless of platform

user@node1~/life# mojo build -I ./ life.mojo -o ./life
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltinfo: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
mojo: error: failed to link executable

user@node1~/life# mojo build -I ./ life.mojo -o ./life
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltinfo: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
mojo: error: failed to link executable

EDIT1 typed 42 by accident, its actually fedora 41 the stable release

I can do magic mojo run <mojo_file> and it works, but when it comes to building something...well, that's another story I am guessing that there is something missing from my setups, but can't pin point exactly what
