Torch7: error while installing torch

Created on 22 Dec 2016 · 13Comments · Source: torch/torch7

currently i am trying to install TORCH in my machine ( ubuntu 15.04), but every time i tried i got the following errors when i ran the command ./install.sh

The problem in my case seemed to be related to my version of gcc, I had to update it to 5.0
This is the source link http://askubuntu.com/questions/618474/how-to-install-the-latest-gcurrently-5-1-in-ubuntucurrently-14-04 and these are the commands they suggested (which I used):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-5 g++-5

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-5

@alirezaniki is this on ARM or Intel CPU?

soumith on 22 Dec 2016

Hi Dear Soumith
the CPU is intel

alirezaniki on 22 Dec 2016

@alirezaniki Are you trying to build this in some kind of a virtual machine ?

pavanky on 22 Dec 2016

Hi Dear Pavanky
yes im running it on a virtual machine with 1700 mb RAm and 2 cpu`s

alirezaniki on 23 Dec 2016

@alirezaniki I have experienced issues with cpuid when running inside virtual machines earlier. There may be a way around it, but I am not familiar with it.

@soumith Is there a way to disable just the cpuid functionality in torch? My experience was with arrayfire and I ended up adding an option to disable it for these kinds of situations.

pavanky on 23 Dec 2016

this seems like a compiler / assembler issue, rather than a runtime issue:

/home/sarhad1/torch/pkg/torch/lib/TH/generic/simd/simd.h:72:3: error: inconsistent operand constraints in an ‘asm’
asm volatile ( "cpuid\n\t"

gcc 4.4 and up do pick these up just fine, except on ARM platforms.

The only way to avoid the codepath right now is to declare: __arm__

soumith on 23 Dec 2016

This might be the result of -fPIC claiming the ebx register on GCC < 5.

Torch should include cpuid.h and call __get_cpuid() instead, that way older GCC environments will preserve ebx when calling CPUID.

Hi,
I try to install Torch in Ubuntu 32-bit in a VM ware workstation, and i get the same Error,

@soumith Could you please. guide me how to fix this Error !!

@AndressDriss can you please paste the full installation log? I am looking for some lines I added to the log to debug further.

this doesn't look like it's either the latest torch or it is the full logfile.
I am looking for a line like this:

Thanks @martincammiteracode , also for me, the problem it was in the gcc version, i fixed it by using the same versions of gcc, g++ and gfortran.
