I am unable to reproduce this issue, so I cannot provide further assistance. Sorry.

Check if your Ollama is the latest version. Now it's 0.5.7.

Error: llama runner process has terminated: error:expected absolute path: "runner"

ollama run llama3.2:1b
ollama run llama3.2
ollama run deepseek-r1:1.5b

I get the same issue but installing the tur-repo does nothing to help.
I'm trying to build on a LM-K420YM which seems to be running v7
