This seems related to whatever lantern version was downloaded (https://torch-cdn.mlverse.org/binaries/refs/heads/cran/v0.13.0/latest/lantern-0.13.0+cpu+x86_64-Linux.zip).

Notice that in the install step, the following line appeared:

*** Skip building lantern.

Why was it skipped? Perhaps if it is not skipped it will be downloaded and built locally? Is there a way to force this behavior?
