Error While Installing xbuild

I'm following this tutorial (yes it's way above my skill level, but I'm bored) and when I get to the step for installing xbuild, I get an error:

Sometimes it's not just the ryu package. It kind of just picks a random package and fails to build it. Syn and serde are other common packages it fails to build.

I haven't been able to find anything on Google, so I'm kind of lost.

See, I tried it again and got this error:
