ERROR: Failed to build 'https://github.com/openai/CLIP/archive/d50d76daa670286dd6cacf3bcd80b5e4823fc8e1.zip' when getting requirements to build wheel

As far as i understand this, it most likely is the wrong python version but i tried it with three different version so far (3.12.xx, 3.10.20 and 3.10.6) and i constantly got the same exact error. I am on Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon. Any ideas how to fix this? Any more information needed?

Had a docker container that ran fine. I wiped the system and installed a new distro and I'm getting the same error. Something isn't installing correctly on first run and it's causing everything else to fail. Good excuse to try more updated forks since this repo seems abandoned.
