Hello dear friends, When I try to install requirements.txt using pip install -r requirements.txt command, I get an error like;

Building wheels for collected packages: diff-gaussian-rasterization

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for diff-gaussian-rasterization
  Running setup.py clean for diff-gaussian-rasterization
Failed to build diff-gaussian-rasterization
ERROR: Could not build wheels for diff-gaussian-rasterization, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

And also I cannot execute anything because of gaussian-rasterization. (My system is Ubuntu 20.04 and my conda version is 24.1.2)

I solved the problem by using pip install instead of conda install for the torch packages.

Same error.. When I cloned the splatam file, I noticed that the diff-gaussian-rasterization file was empty. Did this happen to you too?

[czeyveli1]

Okey, I tried to clone diff-gaussian-rasterization-w-depth.git file manually and put it inside the SplaTAM folder manually, and also I tried to install "setup.py" file using python setup.py install and get an error as;

File "/home/cz/anaconda3/envs/splatam/lib/python3.10/subprocess.py", line 421, in check_output
    return run(*popenargs, stdout=PIPE, timeout=timeout, check=True,
  File "/home/cz/anaconda3/envs/splatam/lib/python3.10/subprocess.py", line 526, in run
    raise CalledProcessError(retcode, process.args,
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['which', 'g++']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

I do not now is there any other way to solve the problem?

Finally, I have solved my problem using the issue #24 . As mentioned in the issue, the problem is the version of gcc&g++ version is incompatable with CUDA. I fixed the problem using conda install gxx_linux-64=10 command.
