CMake Error during AMICI installation on WSL

[LarkinIt]

Hello, I am trying to install AMICI in a conda environment on WSL following the instructions described in the documentation. I first installed the dependencies as outlined in the documentation

The installation fails with a long error + traceback which I uploaded:
amici_error_log.txt
I think the error is from CMake according to part of the traceback output (around line 797 in amici_error_log.txt):

CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt:
        Imported target "SUNDIALS::generic_static" includes non-existent path

          "C:/Users/Caroline/anaconda3/Library/include"

        in its INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES. 

To Reproduce
Here are the steps I followed to install AMICI in WSL

1. conda create --name test1 pip python
2. conda activate test1
3. conda install -c conda-forge openblas
4. export BLAS_LIBS=-lopenblas
5. pip install amici --no-cache

AMICI version and system environment

• OS and version: Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL 1
• AMICI interface: Python 3.12.4 (I also encountered this problem with Python 3.10)
• AMICI version: 0.25.2

Thanks so much!

Hi @LarkinIt, do you have a separate SUNDIALS package installed in the conda environment you are using?

 -- Found SUNDIALS: /mnt/c/Users/Caroline/anaconda3/Library/lib/cmake/sundials

This directory is unrelated to amici as far as I can tell. And also unrelated to your test1 conda environment?!
It seems like amici is picking up some unrelated CMake files that contain the incorrect C:/Users/Caroline/anaconda3/Library/include . I will check why this might be the case.

Until then, you can either try it in a conda environment that does not not contain any sundials installation, or try a non-conda virtual environment python -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install amici --no-cache.

Until then, you can either try [...]

First, please try pip3 install -ve git+https://github.com/AMICI-dev/amici.git@develop#egg=amici\&subdirectory=python/sdist in your previous conda environment.

Hi! My apologies with the late reponse. I do have multiple packages installed on Windows and WSL environments that use SUNDIALS (specifically libroadrunner and bionetgen) so I suspect it is referencing one of those. I tried running the command you suggested (pip3 install -ve git+https://github.com/AMICI-dev/amici.git@develop#egg=amici\&subdirectory=python/sdist) and that worked for me! Thanks so much!

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it works. After the next release, pip install amici should work then.
