Installation failling in Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS x86_64

Hi,

A fresh clone of the repository fails to install with the following output:

Building wheels for collected packages: kima

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

My cmake version is 3.28.3, so that shouldn't be the problem. Any clue on what is going on?

Ps: the pypi version works as expected (i.e., pip install kima), it is only the latest github version that has issues

I'll try to investigate this asap.

What command did you run to install? From the error above it looks like Cmake can't find the compiler.
This ran just now with a fresh clone and doing pip install .
