I am trying to duplicate [this space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/r3gm/RVC_HFv2) but when I do, I get “build error” [here](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ALLbeebz/RVC_HFv2) I did not change any of it’s settings. I don’t understand how one person could have a space that works perfectly fine and another person have that EXACT space however theirs’s gets errors? I am just a beginner, so maybe someone could educate me. error: ```auto --> ERROR: process "/bin/sh -c pip install --no-cache-dir -r /tmp/requirements.txt" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1 ``` code that leads to error: ```auto tornado>=6.1 setuptools pydantic fairseq==0.12.2 wheel google-auth-oauthlib pedalboard pydub==0.25.1 httpx==0.23.0 tensorboardX faiss_cpu==1.7.3 ffmpeg_python==0.2.0 ffmpy==0.3.1 websockets>=10.0 gradio==3.34.0 librosa==0.9.1 elevenlabs gTTS==2.3.2 wget psutil matplotlib==3.7.2 mega.py==1.0.8 gdown edge-tts git+https://github.com/suno-ai/bark.git nltk noisereduce==2.0.1 unidecode numba==0.57.1 numpy==1.23.5 onnxruntime onnxruntime_gpu==1.15.1 opencv_python==4.8.0.74 opencv_python_headless==4.8.0.74 pandas==2.0.3 praat-parselmouth==0.4.2 PySimpleGUI==4.60.5 requests==2.31.0 resampy==0.4.2 scikit_learn==1.3.0 scipy==1.11.1 yt_dlp==2023.7.6 pyngrok==4.1.12 sounddevice==0.4.6 soundfile==0.12.1 tensorboard==2.13.0 tb_nightly==2.14.0a20230803 torch==2.0.0 torchcrepe==0.0.21 torch_directml==0.2.0.dev230426 torchaudio==2.0.1 torchvision==0.15.1 torchgen>=0.0.1 tqdm==4.65.0 python-dotenv>=1.0.0 av ``` ---

This is because the library has been updated. Specifically, there is a bug in some of the other libraries that fairseq is referencing, so some adjustments are needed.

I’ve made it compatible with Gradio 5. The layout isn’t perfect, but it works for now. > **[RVC Inference HF - a Hugging Face Space by John6666](https://huggingface.co/spaces/John6666/RVC_HFv2_gradio5)** > > Discover amazing ML apps made by the community ---

Hello! I’m sorry for reopening this thread. I’m having exactly the same problem with the same space (and one called AiCoverGen from the same original autor -r3gm-). Sadly, the links posted by John6666 seems to be sleeping. Is there any way of getting these duplicated spaces to work? (Since I’m quite noob, i thought it was a problem with my account, so, I deleted it, but using a new one brings the same error)… ---

For now, I restarted the Space. Since you can basically duplicate other people’s Spaces, it’s convenient to duplicate it first when making changes. 1. ![dupspace1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/hellohellohello/original/3X/3/5/3590b86bc0ff809ae6147c689d36c1ba167b1635.jpeg) 2. ![dupspace2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/hellohellohello/original/3X/0/d/0d1b6f6513a51d65df97d19dc3dde24e3a82169c.jpeg) ---

Thank you for reopening the space! I followed the steps for duplicating it (it’s the way I always did), but for some reason, I’m still getting a Build error. I currently logged in another device, not the usual one, because I thought this could infere too, but… I don’t know. This is the error I get in the logs: ```auto ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "", line 1387, in _gcd_import File "", line 1360, in _find_and_load File "", line 1310, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "", line 488, in _call_with_frames_removed File "", line 1387, in _gcd_import File "", line 1360, in _find_and_load File "", line 1331, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "", line 935, in _load_unlocked File "", line 1023, in exec_module File "", line 488, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/tmp/pip-build-env-e71apx1g/overlay/lib/python3.13/site-packages/setuptools/ __init__.py", line 10, in import distutils.core ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils' [notice] A new release of pip is available: 24.0 -> 25.3 [notice] To update, run: pip install --upgrade pip --> ERROR: process "/bin/sh -c pip install --no-cache-dir -r /tmp/requirements.txt" did not complete successfully: exit code: 2 ``` I only duplicated it (but instead of public I set it as private but setting it Public still comes with the same error)… What does it mean? Thanks again. ---

I tried duplicating it here and was able to reproduce the same issue. Seems like the default Python version for Gradio spaces is set to 3.13…? Probably an HF bug.🤔 I’ve fixed that part for now, so I think you should be able to duplicate it now. ---

Thanks again for answering. I guess it’s a HF bug, now I see Runtime error in your space ☹ ---

Yeah. I fixed again for now but HF is buggy today… ---

I was able to duplicate it! Thank you so much for your time 🙂
