Failed building wheel for libact on Anaconda 3, Python 3.6 version

[soumya252]

Hello,

I was trying to experiment with active learning,which made me come to the libact package.

I tried installing with the help of tar file which is failing to build the wheel file.
and then i ended up on github which gave me the code pip install "git+https://github.com/ntucllab/libact.git"

i have tried both with and without quotes as suggested in the link https://github.com/ntucllab/libact

It throws me the following error statement:
Collecting git+https://github.com/ntucllab/libact.git
Cloning https://github.com/ntucllab/libact.git to c:\users\soumya1.bir\appdata\local\temp\pip-ou0evomh-build
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/ntucllab/libact.git/': Couldn't resolve host 'github.com'
Command "git clone -q https://github.com/ntucllab/libact.git C:\Users\SOUMYA1.BIR\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-ou0evomh-build" failed with error code 128 in None

Kindly help me with the same as to how this can be resolved,

Want to try if this helps?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33667782/fatal-error-cant-resolve-host-github-com

try git config --global --unset https.proxy

or

In Windows, if you've any third party firewall (or internet activity monitor) installed, then configure them to allow your client to access outside connection.If there aren't any 3rd part firewallls, then go to control panel, search for firewall. Inside the firewall panel, select Add a new exception (or similar option). Allow the git client both inbound and outbound access.

or you can try download the tarball and

pip install XXX.tar.gz

Also would you mind pasting the error message above the line of failed building wheel for libact?

I tried with the tar file also,it still says failed to build the wheel.

Pasting the entire error here for further reference:

It seems you didn't install lapacke (there is an 'e' at the end)
Maybe these links would help

• http://www.netlib.org/lapack/
• http://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-for-windows/lapack/#lapacke

[eyadsibai]

in my case, I do have it installed but on Archlinux and still getting the same error. Is there a chance to provide wheels?

[believeohiozua]

i was able to install libact on windows via jupyter notebook by runing !pip install libact
