[Question] Didn't find wheel for isaacsim-rl 4.0.0.0

[WangYCheng23]

I want to create a conda environment for using isaaclab in a server. when I use pip install isaacsim-rl isaacsim-replicator isaacsim-extscache-physics isaacsim-extscache-kit-sdk isaacsim-extscache-kit isaacsim-app packages, there is a error shown below

Anyone can help me solve that?

Is this Ubuntu 20.04? The pip binaries don't work on that since the default GLIBC is 2.31, but we need a minimum of 2.35.

So need upgrade GLIBC from 2.31 to 2.35 ? like this situation:

(isaaclab) ➜  IsaacLab git:(main) ldd --version
ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.31-0ubuntu9.16) 2.31

Hi~

The operating system running on my server is Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (Bionic Beaver).

As I do not have root privileges, I attempted to update the GLIBC library by setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to my custom GLIBC version 3.27. However, upon executing ldd --version, I encountered errors.

Given the issues with this approach, I decided to abandon it and instead transferred my local isaac-sim-4.0.0 folders to the remote server, subsequently linking it to the isaaclab/__isaac_sim. Despite these actions, the demo script still fails to execute as expected.

I intend to utilize the remote server for training purposes due to its availability of 8 GPUs, which significantly outmatches the resources at my disposal locally. Currently, I am successfully running Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab on my local machine, which is running Ubuntu 22.04.

I don't think Isaac Sim supports Ubuntu 18.04. You'd need to use Ubuntu 20.04 or above.

You can find the requirements of Isaac Sim here: https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/isaacsim/latest/installation/requirements.html
