Fix CppCompileError
in Weights & Biases
✅ Solution
CppCompileError in weights-biases often arises when the library tries to compile custom C++ extensions, often required for gradient tracking with certain model architectures or custom operations. Ensure you have a compatible compiler (like g++) and the necessary build tools installed on your system - usually, installing `build-essential` on Debian/Ubuntu-based systems or their equivalent on other OS fixes this. If using a virtual environment, ensure these tools are installed within the environment.
