Hi @monuoha,
In order to pinpoint the issue, could you share with us the exact error?
Example of Cython file not compiling:
Error compiling Cython file:
------------------------------------------------------------

from ...utils import get_rng
from ...utils.init_utils import uniformcdef floating _dot(int n, floating *x, int incx, floating *y, int incy) noexcept nogil: ^ ------------------------------------------------------------ cornac/models/efm/recom_efm.pyx:39:42: Syntax error in C variable declaration cythoning cornac/models/comparer/recom_comparer_obj.pyx to cornac/models/comparer/recom_comparer_obj.cppI currently use Python 3.8.8.
That's very interesting. At the moment, it's challenging to setup the same environment as yours. May I suggest the following options:
- Use Conda to install Cornac.
- Reinstall C++ compiler using Homebrew with
brew install gcc | brew link gcc, then try to install Cornac again usingpip.
Let us know if it resolves your issue.
Hello,
I finally managed to install cornac using conda, but I only got version 1.7.1. How do I upgrade it to 2.1.0?@monuoha could you double check if it's installed from the conda-forge channel?
conda install cornac -c conda-forge
The above command is what I used to install conda.
How do I access that image, I exited out of the terminal window right after cornac was installed.
you'll see it when you run the command
conda install cornac -c conda-forgeI already ran the command, and this is what it showed me:
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): - WARNING conda.models.version:get_matcher(538): Using .* with relational operator is superfluous and deprecated and will be removed in a future version of conda. Your spec was 1.7.1.*, but conda is ignoring the .* and treating it as 1.7.1 done Solving environment: done ==> WARNING: A newer version of conda exists. <== current version: 4.14.0 latest version: 24.3.0 Please update conda by running $ conda update -n base -c conda-forge conda # All requested packages already installed. Retrieving notices: ...working... doneyou can uninstall cornac with
conda uninstall cornacand try again with the command aboveI uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, and here is what I got

Description
Whenever I try to install cornac, several Cython files refuse to compile.
In which platform does it happen?
macOS 12.7.3
How do we replicate the issue?
Run pip install cornac in Terminal
Expected behavior (i.e. solution)
The terminal command should be able to install the cornac package with no problems.
