Equity Market Neutral #2 Submission using xgboost fails

When submitting to the Equity Market Neutral #2 competition via CLI the process fails at what looks like the pip install stage. requirements.txt file contains

pandas
numpy
xgboost

I think xgboost is the problem.

command not exited correctly: 1

When the version of xgboost is specified in requirements.txt e.g. xgboost==2.0.3 it works, so maybe the problem is with the latest version of xgboost.

Apologies for the delay in my reply.

To ensure that the library versions match your local environment, the system attempts to freeze the requirements with your locally installed version.

However, sometimes it causes issues if your local environment is too new for the options offered on the platform.

To prevent this behavior, use the following command: crunch push --no-pip-freeze.

That worked. Thanks.
