Failed to download and build patchelf==0.17.2.1

Thank you for the book, it's really enajoyable to read,

I encountered an issue following the book's steps after running uv sync. The problem seems related to patchelf.

  help: `patchelf` (v0.17.2.1) was included because
        `python-polars-the-definitive-guide` (v1.0.0) depends on `patchelf`

I tried deleting the entire repository and cloning it again, but the issue persists. I even installed the three packages mentioned in the error using Homebrew, but that didn’t resolve it either. After a bit of research, I found that patchelf is specifically designed for Linux, though I’m not entirely sure if that’s the root cause.

Here are the details:

• uv version: uv 0.5.6 (Homebrew 2024-12-03)
• macOS: 13.7.1

Thank you
