===What's the difference between merge/Apply and Deploy?===
"Apply" and "merge" (or, "applying the merge") both mean to take the mods you have installed and combine them into one single mod. "Deploy" means to take the combined files and put them in the output folder.
UKMM splits these two concepts for multiple reasons. Maybe you want to merge a new set of mods and make sure there are no merge errors before you overwrite your deployed files. Maybe you have your output folder set to your SD card and want to merge while you look for your SD card, then plug it in to deploy. There are many reasons you might want these two operations separated.
If you don't want the operations separated, turn the Auto Deploy setting on, and it will always deploy right after merging (similar to what BCML did)

glibc recently updated, which caused a whole big headache since we can't build against older versions. If you're on a system where you can upgrade, then perform a full system upgrade. (You probably want to do that periodically anyway) UKMM should work just fine after that.
