make: *** [Makefile:263: ggml.o] Error 1

What shall I do to fix this installation error, please?

This might be fixed by replacing static_assert with _Static_assert

I've run into this issue while trying to compile llama-cpp-python for oobabooga in conda env using gcc/gxx installed from conda-forge. None of conda-issued versions of gcc compiler worked for me, tried 11.3.0 up to 13.1.0, and they all gave that error.

Removing conda-forge gcc and reverting to system-wide gcc fixed it (in my case version 11.3.0 (Ubuntu 11.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04.1, but I suspect any will work. And yes, conda-forge gcc was ver 11.3.0, too)

Messing with llamacpp source seemed both excessive and unsustainable.

I've got this error, also using gcc and gxx from conda-forge. However, my system compiler is too old and I can't change it. Any other suggestions?

I meet the same problem.
any other solution except compile a gcc/g++ by hand?
