This is not a problem with torch, nvcc is not supported with the latest version of Xcode. You will need to downgrade if you want to use CUDA.

OK, thank you

@pavanky: I downgrade clang version but i still got this error.
do you know to fix it? Thank you.

Hi, I think maybe these link is helpful to you.

Cuda Installation Guide here:
http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-mac-os-x/index.html#mac-os-version
http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-mac-os-x/index.html#system-requirements

Command Line Tools Download here:
https://developer.apple.com/download/more/

if you use OS X 10.11, you need to install Command Line Tools for Xcode 7.2.
if you use OS X 10.12, you need to install Command Line Tools for Xcode 8.2.

you should follow this cuda installation guide.
good luck!

Installing Xcode 7.3 command line tools didn't work for me (macOS 10.12). It solved the clang error, but now I get ld: unexpected token: !tapi-tbd-v2 file '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.tbd' for architecture x86_64.
