+    This is happening when you are using an ARM64 OS but used the x86-64 installation guide.
+    To resolve the issue you must build solidity from source (avoid 0.8.24 as it might require building z3 from source as well).

+    The following steps have been tested on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS ARM64:

+    git clone --branch v0.8.28 --depth 1 https://github.com/ethereum/solidity.git
+    cd solidity && mkdir build && cd build

+    chmod +x $HOME/Documents/execution-spec-tests/.venv/bin/solc
+    ``` 
+    Running `uv run solc --version` should now be functional. Verify that fill is now working by running `uv run fill -m yul_test` in the execution-spec-tests folder.
