Indeed, same problem for me (and a friend who also tested), both running on Arch Linux.

I suspect this came from the upgrade to Python 3.13, but I'm not sure.

Try installing cmake first. As per the following excerpt from your log file, cmake command cannot be found.

./build_bundled.sh: line 21: cmake: command not found
./build_bundled.sh: line 22: cmake: command not found

In MacOS, you can use brew: brew install cmake In Debian-based Linux, you can use apt: sudo apt install cmake

This was the trick, thank you! I can install SentencePiece on Arch now.

pip install cmake was the solution.

I've installed cmake, both via my distro package manager and via pip in the conda env, and I'm still getting the same error.

[NXTler]

Same here

The issue is that this branch is not yet released #1084 so until it's released it won't work on 3.13

Closed by #1120
