Installation failling in Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS x86_64

[Kamuish]

Hi,

A fresh clone of the repository fails to install with the following output:

Building wheels for collected packages: kima
  Building editable for kima (pyproject.toml) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × Building editable for kima (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building editable for kima
Failed to build kima

My cmake version is 3.28.3, so that shouldn't be the problem. Any clue on what is going on?

Ps: the pypi version works as expected (i.e., pip install kima), it is only the latest github version that has issues

I'll try to investigate this asap.

What command did you run to install? From the error above it looks like Cmake can't find the compiler. This ran just now with a fresh clone and doing pip install .
