Incorrect Pybind Version in install-prereq-headers.py Script

[pietro-sillano]

Hello,

I’m compiling HooMD from source on an HPC cluster, and I encountered a potential issue.

I followed the installation guide using a Python virtual environment and ran the install-prereq-headers.py script. Since my environment didn’t have Pybind configured, the script prompted me to install it. However, the script downloaded Pybind version 2.10.1 instead of the required version 2.12 for HooMD.

I recommend updating the script (specifically around line 220) to reference the correct Pybind version (2.12).

Thanks!

Platform

I recently revised the build documentation and removed install-prereq-headers.py: #1909
