When I am building objectdetectioncpu
skss@skss-VirtualBox:~/mediapipe$ bazel build -c opt --config=android_arm64 mediapipe/examples/android/src/java/com/google/mediapipe/apps/objectdetectioncpu``

Error message as followed:

and i check that i can run python in this directory

(cv) skss@skss-VirtualBox:~$ /usr/bin/env python --version
Python 3.6.8

How can I solve it ?

Thank you

Hi, we haven't tested MediaPipe on VirtualBox. As far as I can tell, it seems to be a Bazel python3 issue. Tensorflow also gets a similar issue: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/15618#issuecomment-376009820. You probably can try python2 instead. For example, you can install python2 and linking python to python2 by sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python.

Closing due to lack of recent activity.
