Installation fails for diff-gaussian-rasterization-w-pose on Python 3.10 / NumPy 2.x / pip 25+

[roboticist-blip]

Hi, I’m trying to set up GaussianObject on Ubuntu 22.04 with Python 3.10 and CUDA 11.8.
When I install the submodule diff-gaussian-rasterization-w-pose in editable mode, I get errors:

• ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch'
• Editable install deprecated warning
• NumPy 2.x compatibility issues

Steps I followed:

1. Created a virtual environment
2. Installed PyTorch 2.2.0 + CUDA 11.8
3. Installed Pillow 9.5, NumPy 2.2.6
4. Tried pip install -e ./submodules/diff-gaussian-rasterization-w-pose

Error occurs during build. It seems the submodule expects NumPy <2 and PyTorch to be installed first.

Would it be possible to update the setup to support pip >=25, NumPy 2.x, and PEP517 editable builds? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!
