Unable to compile hls model

[Sam-Nielsen-Dot]

When I try to run the first tutorial notebook from hls4ml-tutorial

The code stops at the hls_model.compile() line and shows the error

Writing HLS project

    374 else:
    375     self._handle = handle

OSError: firmware/myproject-478C5A15.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This same error occurs when I try to run any of the other tutorial notebooks or compile a HLS4ML model in any other piece of code

Furthermore,

when I try to just build the model without compiling it I get the error message

Project myproject_prj does not exist. Rerun "hls4ml build -p my-hls-test".

Do you know how to rectify this?

Thankyou
