After replacing with gcc,gxx=8.5.0，run
[rm -rf build/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
]the problem was solved,but if you can't find diffvg or pydiffvg, you can run the python setup.py install again

same issue with gcc 11.4

As @kilhny mentions, you need gcc 8. However, gcc 8 has been discontinued for Ubuntu 22.04 and up. It would be great to enable compilation on Ubuntu 22 without going through the hoops of trying to install a discontinued gcc

[patelchaitany]

dongrading your gcc version to 9.5.0 and g++ version to 9.5.0 it seems it make it work

Updating pybind worked for me https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/releases
