[SOLVED] ollama v 0.1.43

The version of ollama in the official package rrepository is listed as 0.1.43. This was where I got my install.
When I ran "ollama -v", it told me that the actual version is  0.1.28 or something like that.

I  then tried to use install script from ollama's github page. I got the correct version using this method.

Re: [SOLVED] ollama v 0.1.43

... or something like that.

That's not helpful.  Post the actual command and exact output.

I just installed ollama, and it's fine here:

$ ollama -v
Warning: could not connect to a running Ollama instance
Warning: client version is 0.1.43

I'd gather you have more than one "ollama" in your path possibly from previous attempts to install it without using pacman.  With the official repo package installed, post the output of each of the following:

pacman -Qi ollama
pacman -Qkk ollama
type ollama
ollamma -v

Re: [SOLVED] ollama v 0.1.43

Yes, I think it had something to do with me installing it without pacman the first time I tried ollama.   Version 0.1.28 was the version back in March and that roughly matches the time I started using it.
I found that the upstream github's install script places the binary in /usr/local/bin. After removing this and running pacman again, I got the correct version.

The strange thing is  that this wasn't the first time I updated ollama via pacman and i do remember getting LLM incompatibilities prior to updating it via pacman.

I'm not sure what's strange about that.  It wouldn't matter how many times you upgraded it via pacman - you were never using the pacman version as the one in /usr/local/bin takes precedence over the pacman-provided binary at /usr/bin/.

Re: [SOLVED] ollama v 0.1.43

Here is the sequence of events involving previous LLM incompatibility issues (not including the one I had today):

:Try newly released LLM -> fail to completely load because of old ollama version -> update pacman (with ollama update) -> LLM loads

This led me to believe that I was indeed using the newer versions after each pacman update.
