`scikit-learn-2.x` Tech Note: scikit-learn will not install on some Linux distros
tad4 opened this issue · comments
For PTS users attempting to run v2 (or later) of the scikit-learn test profile, please note that some Linux distributions do not provide a version of the Meson Build System that meets the minimum requirements of scikit-learn. In this scenario, when PTS attempts to install scikit-learn users may encounter the following:

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

The scikit-learn-2.0.0 test profile uses scikit-learn v1.2.2 which requires v0.63.3 of the Meson Build System or later. The example, above, was attempted on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS which provides a version of meson that is not compatible with scikit-learn v1.2.2.
Who is affected by this issue?
Users of Linux distributions or python releases that provide packaged versions of meson < 0.63.3; e.g,—
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and earlier versions.
Workarounds
Users who are unable to update their Linux distribution may run the prior version of the scikit-learn test profile:
phoronix-test-suite run scikit-learn-1.2.0
Note for PTS developers and maintainers
- This is not a bug with PTS.
