  Seems like, the numpy api is not compatible with Mesh……..

• the Cmake cmd

  BOOST_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/include/boost make all

• env:

  • Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
  • gcc 11.4.0
  • g++ 11.4.0
  • Python 3.10.14
  • numpy 1.23.5

• already have

  • removed ./mesh/requirements.txt
  • apt-get install libboost-dev

  • modified ./mesh/Makefile

    Emotional damaged, seeking for help........

Hi, it seems that the python version is too high for the psbody-mesh library. Can you try to downgrade python to 3.9 or 3.8 and see if it works?

Alternatively, since psbody-mesh is only used for data processing and does not affect inference, you can simply skip this part if the problem still exists.
