Hi, thanks for the report - do you think I would be able to reproduce this problem on a Pi 5?

It seems like it could be a bug in scikit-build-core, or possibly a version of numpy that is out of date.

[rpatapa]

Hi,

Sorry I did not explicitly mention that I was using Pi Zero 2W. I don't have a Pi 5.
I upgraded numpy with pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall numpy
But the error while installing pocketsphinx is same.
Can we install pocketsphinx on Pi Zero 2W?

[dhdaines]

Right, I have a Pi 5, that's why I'm asking :) if it's the same OS then it should be the same problem. It looks like it is: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/

Do you know what version of Raspberry Pi OS you are using?

[dhdaines]

I'll try testing this when I get a moment (possibly later today).

[rpatapa]

Thanks for looking into this..

I was using Legacy 64bit Lite Debian Bullseye

[rpatapa]

Further to force upgrading numpy, I updated CMake also to 3.30.0.

The error remains:

[dhdaines]

Hm. okay. If you run pip freeze | grep numpy what version does it tell you?

[rpatapa]

pizero:~ $ pip freeze | grep numpy
numpy==2.0.2
pizero:~ $

[dhdaines]

Hm, unfortunately I can't reproduce this on my Pi5. This is certainly due to having a more recent version of, well, everything (I have the latest OS, bookworm-based). Here are what I think are the relevant versions:

• Python 3.11.2
• scikit-build-core 0.10.6

Two things:

1. Can you install in a virtualenv? That way we know what the dependencies are...
2. Are you able to update to the most recent Raspberry Pi OS?

Alternately I can try flashing the legacy OS to see if I can reproduce the problem that way.

[dhdaines]

Nope, legacy OS is not compatible with Raspberry Pi 5. Sorry...

[rpatapa]

BTW, is pocketsphinx 5.0.3 compatible with Python 3.9.x?

[dhdaines]

Yes, at least on x86-64 it builds and works fine. As a last thing to try, you could perhaps try building, in a virtualenv, without build isolation:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install numpy cython scikit-build-core cmake ninja
pip install -v --no-build-isolation pocketsphinx

What happens when you do that?

[rpatapa]

In an environment, I was able to install.
Simple pip install pocketsphix also could install successfully!

[dhdaines]

Great! Something is just not quite right with the system install of Python on the legacy PiOS I guess ... it's nearly always a better idea to install in a virtualenv, and now I have another reason why :) Thanks for your patience!

[rpatapa]

Much appreciate your support! Thank you!

[dhdaines]

I'll close the issue but it will remain visible/searchable if anyone else has the same issue, glad there's a workaround.
