clang not correctly detected

[tdegeus]

In a new conda environment, I've installed

conda install -c conda-forge python
python -m pip install .

which outputs

The problem is persistent when I install clang from conda-forge

In addition, the problem is persistent in my CI: tdegeus/GooseEYE#105

I guess that that the issue could be that I'm not installing directly using

python -m pip install git+git://github.com/pybind/pybind11_mkdoc.git@master

However, that command times-out (also on the CI)

downgrade clang(<=14.0):
pip install clang==13.0.1

Had the same issue and downgrading worked, thanks @RoboticsChen !
