Thank you for the report, @leeanne2 !

First, pip is not picking up the binary package, and tries to build from source. This seems to be caused by newer Python (3.11), if you try with Python 3.10, it should work with a binary package - without building. The reason is that the virtual machines we use for building for old glibc (in particular, for keeling) only support Python <=3.10.

Second, the compilation does not even start as CMake complains about being too old to know what C++17 is. The docs suggest that this will happen if your CMake is <= 3.8. Could you confirm if you CMake is indeed <=3.8 and try with a newer one?

I've just added a PR that should make the error message more understandable in such case: #285

Thanks!
