I want to build tensorflow and have tried several time, but each time I am getting this error. I followed the official instructions given on the tensorflow page. Also, I was not able to find any solution about this issue online.
My OS is Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS and system is Lenovo v15-g2-itl with Intel Core i3.
Here is the error msg from terminal,

Hi @Ahmad_Tameem & Welcome.
Your machine is 64-bit right?
Can you please tell what command you run?
Did you follow a specific documentation e.g. Building TensorFlow from source?
No, CUDA/GPU are optional.
Unfortunately I’m unable to reproduce the issue. And searching on the internet I couldn’t find someone else with similar issue (error messages). I’m sure you did it yourself anyways.
Okay, thank you for letting me know and taking the time to look into it. I will try again later with some clean up… or alternatively will build it on some other system.
I mispoke before about versions. Before I was using TF 2.13, CUDA 11.8, cudnn 8.8:
CPU: Phenom II X6 1100T
If it’s worthwhile, I went with a simpler build again using bazelist to see if I could get TF 2.13 to compile.
Steps:
bazel clean
./configure (w/o CUDA or anything else)
bazel build --copt=-march=native //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
Just to follow up. I tried to download TF2.7, as it might be a more stable branch.
Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Phenom II X6 1100T
TF2.7
bazel 3.7.2
python 3.10.6
I tried this build line with no cuda or anything else since this seemed to fix something similar from another post:
bazel build --config=opt --copt=-march=native //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package --cxxopt=“-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0” --noincompatible_do_not_split_linking_cmdline
I don’t get the Middleman error anymore (not sure if that was due to the new build line or just using TF2.7), but I still get this:
ERROR: /home/oscar/build/tensorflow/tensorflow/python/keras/api/BUILD:133:19: Executing genrule //tensorflow/python/keras/api:keras_python_api_gen_compat_v1 failed (Exit 1): bash failed: error executing command /bin/bash -c … (remaining 1 argument(s) skipped)
It looks like getting a newer processor might be the only way forward. The error looks like it might not even be required but it’s a hard fail.
