This doesn't look like the right "ninja". On older Ubuntu you might
have to install the ninja-build package instead (but it might not be
new enough for the latest Meson, tbd).
Also, your Meson build errors out according to your log file because it
doesn't find flex or bison, so try
  sudo apt-get install flex bison
as well.
