Failed building pytorch from source: "CMake Error at cmake/MiscCheck.cmake" "Could not run a simple program built with your compiler"

Question

I am trying to build Pytorch from source following tutorial on

• Jetson: Jetson 5.0.2 GA
• os: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS focal
• cmake version: 3.16.3, installed along with ROS noetic.
• gcc: (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1) 9.4.0

The error occurred at the installation step python3 setup.py bdist_wheel:

  Could not run a simple program built with your compiler.  If you are trying

  system (you can confirm if the problem is this by attempting to build and
  run a small program.)

• libasan is installed as libasan5
• I also verified that the machine can use cmake to build a simple program by following the cmake tutorial. I could run cmake . to get cmake-tutotrial built.

If anyone can suggest a solution, I will be very grateful!
