So I was getting frustrated and started over from the beginning. Finally got all the hardware to be recognized and somewhat finished so I thought I was just having software issues. Formatting my SD card and installed RetroPie V 2.6. Ran through all of the setup stuff from
https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup
After I installed the emulators via binaries I shut down the Pi and Started installing the control block service per:
https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService

After I get to the

cd ControlBlockService
make

I got the following message:
Error Screen ControlBlockService MAKE
–Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
Makefile:27: recipe for target ‘../lib/jsoncpp/build/release/lib/libjsoncpp.a’ failed
make[1]: *** [../lib/jsoncpp/build/release/lib/libjsoncpp.a] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/home/pi/ControlBlockService/src/controlblock’
makefile:16: recipe for target ‘all’ failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

when I try to access the controlblockconfig.cfg file the only thing that shows up is a line at the top of the screen that says ‘GNU nano 2.2.6’

Any experience with what this means or how to fix it?
