SCENIC+ build fails due to annoy package

[mairamirza]

Hi @SeppeDeWinter

I have been trying to install the latest version of the SCENIC+ tool as described, although I am facing a major build failure issue. I am trying to solve this issue by looking around for solution already available on the web, but unfortunately I couldn't succeed. Could you please advise me what can be done in order to get this resolved. I have attached my error output, if that is helpful in any case.

Thanks and looking forward to your reply!
