NFT_WALLET fails to deploy

[testpuddle]

Using dfx 0,18,.0 and rustc 1.68,1 the nft_wallet will not build when running start.sh

It complains about TLS issues during the script. The same occured with rustc 1.77

thread 'main' panicked at 'Could not create HTTP client.: reqwest::Error { kind: Builder, source: "Unknown TLS backend passed to use_preconfigured_tls" }', /home/ted/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/ic-agent-0.20.1/src/agent/http_transport/reqwest_transport.rs:79:18
