same issue with me

I met the same issue. I tried the way in #6277, but it didn't work. Can anybody solve this problem?

[snow1y]

I finally avoid this problem by changing open3D version to 0.17.0 and changing python version to 3.9. Instead of 'utf-8' codec can't decode bytes in position 4-5: invalid continuation byte' I met before, I met the UnicodeDecodeError in #6277. And then I used the way in #6277, finally it worked.

When I switched to version 0.17 it also compiled and installed fine, but the bug still exists in version 0.18

I also successfully compiled version 0.17.0 using this method~
