When I'm trying to install and compile the bicon program everything is working properly during the installation. but when I'm trying to load the bicon in the console screen using consolechars command
Here's the following loading syntax:
consolechars -f /usr/local/share/bicon/font/bicon-8x16-512.psfu.gz
but unfortunately it doesn't work and the following error has been occurred during the execution process:

Your help would be much appreciated
