Issue with Installing llama-cpp-python 0.3.7: Dependency Problems with scikit-build-core

[lcnmzz00]

Issue:

I am trying to update llama-cpp-python to the latest version (0.3.7) to test the latest Distill version models of DeepSeek, such as DeepSeek r1 Distil Qwen.

However, I am attempting to install the new version on a machine without internet access, so I need to use either .whl or .tar.gz files for installation. When I try to install the package using the command:

pip install --no-deps llama_cpp_python-0.3.7.tar.gz --no-index

I encounter the following error:

`ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Environment:

Python 3.9

I have already installed scikit-build-core version 0.11.0, as confirmed by the following output from pip show scikit-build-core:

Name: scikit_build_core Version: 0.11.0 Summary: Build backend for CMake based projects Location: path/to/venv/venv25/lib/python3.9/site-packages Requires: pathspec, tomli, exceptiongroup, packaging Required-by:
Additionally, I have manually installed all the required dependencies, but the issue persists.
