I am thinking I now need to re-install the whole OS again and start from scratch as I do not know what has been compromised! And I do not know enough about Linux to try and fix it!

I'll be avoiding yabridge in the future though! I was only installing on the off-chance I MIGHT use a windows plug - I am not going to risk it again.
You mean that you tried installing the yabridgectl AUR package, the compilation failed on an error message, and you tried compiling the same package six more times (each time resulting in the same error message)? I'm not quite sure what happened here. Can you post the compilation error? Your system is not compromised, you were just compiling a Rust application. My best guess is that you installed the wrong Rust toolchain in the process.
