I have tried installing flash-atten in an empty conda environment, however it fails with an error which I don’t understand that.

(fatten) [m@login03 ~]$ conda install conda-forge::flash-attn

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be incompatible with your system:

  - feature:/linux-64::__glibc==2.28=0
  - feature:|@/linux-64::__glibc==2.28=0
  - conda-forge::flash-attn -> pytorch=[build=cuda*] -> __cuda[version='>=11.8']

Your installed version is: 2.28

The system information is shown below:

(fatten) [m@login03 ~]$ python --version
Python 3.6.8
(fatten) [m@login03 ~]$ conda --version
conda 4.12.0
(fatten) [m@login03 ~]$ conda list

#
# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel
(fatten) [m@login03 ~]$

Any idea about that?

@mahmoodn,

It looks like the version of glibc and cuda on your system are incompatible with the package you are trying to install. You will need to update those in order to install this package.

We also recommend updating to the latest version of conda to get the best experience (24.9.2). We have more detailed information available in the error messages that could help you further debug your problem.
