Can you please provide build instructions for non-root users ?

CMake Error at build/virtualenv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/Tensile/Source/lib/CMakeLists.txt:105 (find_package):
  By not providing "Findmsgpack.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "msgpack", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "msgpack" with any
  of the following names:

    msgpackConfig.cmake
    msgpack-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "msgpack" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "msgpack_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "msgpack" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
  been installed.

Maybe it's the same problem? https://github.com/ROCm/hipBLASLt/issues/677

Hi @jinz2014, can you try using -d as suggested in https://github.com/ROCm/hipBLASLt/issues/677?

[jinz2014]

The command assumes that a user has root permission.

./install.sh -d

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

If you have all the dependencies then you can try building manually with cmake, see the docs here: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/hipBLASLt/en/latest/installation.html#manual-build-all-supported-platforms. You can choose to install in a directory that does not require sudo permission with -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path>.
