Description

Encountered an issue while trying to load a model in Ollama. The error message received is:

If you previously pulled this model, try updating it by running ollama pull dolphin-mixtral:latest"

Additionally, when checking the version of Ollama with ollama -v, the response was:

"ollama version is 0.0.0

Hi there

Version 0 indicated that you have built ollama yourself. You need to either rebuild the executable again using the latest bits or remove that version and install using the Mac installer. That will have the benefit of keeping you up to date.

Does that make sense.

Thanks so much for being part of this community.

Hi @technovangelist, thank you for your prompt response.

Initially, I installed Ollama using Homebrew. However, after encountering the issue, I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it using the official Mac installer from the Ollama website.

The environment details I provided are from this latest installation via the Mac installer.

Could you please advise if there's a specific directory where the "server" version of Ollama is stored?

@technovangelist I have a similar issue where it returns Error: invalid file magic. This happens when using the orca2 model (and others) that is supposed to work with my version (0.1.11) according to the release page. My install is from Nix.

I successfully resolved the error I was encountering. The issue stemmed from the version of the software I installed via Homebrew, which was unexpectedly blocking a network port. This became evident after I reviewed the log file located at ~/.ollama/logs/server.log, where I discovered the following error message:

Error: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:11434: bind: address already in use

Upon identifying the problem, I proceeded to terminate the process that was keeping the port hostage. After this action, I checked the version of Ollama using the ollama -v.

ollama version is 0.1.16

OK, so now you have a working version. Are you still experiencing the problem you opened the issue about?

The Orca2 model has been updated 3 weeks ago, which is after the 0.1.11 version was released.

You can get the 0.1.17 version of Ollama from the nixpkgs master channel.

So a solution would be to switch to the master channel while waiting for it to be merged with the channel you usually follow. 😃
