Failed to install amuse due to "Failed building wheel for amuse-simplex" #1057

Closed Anit5577 closed 4 months ago

Anit5577 commented 4 months ago

I had a working amuse installation (2022 package version) and wanted to update that recently. To do that, I created a completely new environment for a clean install following the installation procedure provided using pip.

Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS Python 3.10.12

However, this time I ran into issues with a failed installation "Failed building wheel for amuse-simplex", see the attached copy of the error Amuse_install_fail.pdf". It then stops the installation.

On the surface, it looks similar to some of the other recent install failures I have found in the issues folder, but I am unsure how to resolve it. Amuse_install_fail.pdf

Yes, this is probably the same issue. The PyPI packages are currently broken, or rather some of the community codes don't build in modern environments and this then breaks the entire installation.

PyPI isn't really the right place to distribute AMUSE actually, because AMUSE has non-Python dependencies and PyPI just cannot deal with those. I'm making good progress with Conda packages, but it turns out to require a good amount of reengineering to make them work, so that's ongoing.

In the mean time, you could either keep using the current version, or install the development version from source. To do that, first install the dependencies, including the Python ones, according to the documentation, and then do not do

pip install amuse-framework
pip install amuse-$(community_code_name)

but skip to

git clone https://github.com/amusecode/amuse.git
cd amuse
pip install -e .
python setup.py develop_build

You're likely to still get some build failures for some of the packages, but that shouldn't keep you from using the rest. We'll be fixing the broken community codes as part of our Conda packaging efforts in the coming months.

Could you check that you have the latest setuptools and for good measure wheel?

I think

pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel

will fix this.

Thanks! Works now.

It is building things, having some hick-ups with some of the packages, but I am not likely using those. Will see if any of that is causing an issue with my simulations work, but I doubt it.

All of the community codes I normally use were built, so I should be ok for now. Thanks again for the quick help
