I’m facing the same error and [this answer](/static-proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscuss.huggingface.co%2Ft%2Fbuild-error-no-such-file-or-directory-readme-md%2F54885)%E2%80%99s solution (pin gradio to `3.44.1`) does not solve the issue

Hi, can you please double check if Gradio versions are set correctly both on `requirements.txt gradio==3.44.1` and `README.md``sdk_version: 3.44.1` thanks
