My computer has a rather standard setup: Windows 10, AMD 64 processor, Python version 3.12

I am really highly confused here. What is the 'file specified' here - the clang.exe form the [COMAND] line above the error message? Why would that even be needed here as I don't try to build spaCy from source? Can anyone help me with this issue? Thanks!

Guys I solved the issue. You have to find the exact .whl file for bliss, your python version needs. After that you must check the compatible spacy version with the bliss. I Installed spacy 3.7.2 and it worked like a charm. i think for bliss is the version 1 .whl file. I cannot recall exactly.

I'm not very familiar with spaCy, Blis, or Wheels. How do i know what .whl file I need for bliss?
