Failed building basictad with `pip install -v -e .`

[SilvioGiancola]

Hi,

I followed your guideline to build basictad:

conda create -y -n basictad python=3.8
conda activate basictad
conda install -y pytorch==1.8.1 torchvision==0.9.1 torchaudio==0.8.1 cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch
pip install mmcv-full==1.4 -f https://download.openmmlab.com/mmcv/dist/cu102/torch1.8.0/index.html
pip install -r requirements/build.txt
pip install -v -e .

But the building of basictad returns this issue:

Using pip 23.0.1 from /home/giancos/anaconda3/envs/basictad/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)

I ensured to have torch installed in my conda environment with:

(basictad) giancos@PC-KW-60110:~/git/BasicTAD$ python 
Python 3.8.16 (default, Mar  2 2023, 03:21:46) 
[GCC 11.2.0] :: Anaconda, Inc. on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import torch
>>> torch.cuda.is_available()
True

Could you let me know where that installation failed? I tried on different workstations, a GPU cluster, and got the same error several times. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks
