Installation problem: python-rocksdb gives an error for both the conda install and the pip install

[ZoePochon]

I've tried installing sam2lca on two servers with conda and with pip but it seems that an error while trying to install the python-rocksdb package is failing the installations.

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for output from the failure.

Hey @ZoePochon ,
Have you tried in a dedicated conda environment ?
Just tried, it's working fine for me

mamba create -n sam2lca -c bioconda sam2lca

Hey @maxibor
Sorry for the late answer. When I try the command you provide, it gives me this:

Could not solve for environment specs
The following package could not be installed
└─ sam2lca is uninstallable because it requires
└─ python-rocksdb , which does not exist (perhaps a missing channel).
