You are missing the headers for a system library - cholmod.h - which the package needs to be compiled. I've not come across cholmod before, so I'm afraid I can't help you with how to install it. The pacakge developer is almost certainly best placed to help youm and I can see you have posted on the package developers github issues page. .

Thank you for your response. Yes I had uploaded the issue there also, however, I think it is not yet upgraded. Posted here just in case someone knew. The issue was solved. The location of chmod.h file is under suitesparse folder, which you have to copy to the place of installation and then it works.
