The error message above is "#error -- unsupported GNU version! gcc versions later than 6 are not supported!" so I guess installing an older version of gcc should help.

With Arch this would probably be resolved by building/installing a version from the AUR (using yaourt should make this quite easy).

This has already been answered and you can find the answer via github issues.
Manjaro uses gcc-7.2 while Torch can be compiled with gcc-4.9 for example.

sudo pacman -S gcc49
sudo mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc_bkp
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 /usr/bin/gcc

[suice07]

thx for the help.but there is something other wrong ..

[tastyminerals]

export TORCH_NVCC_FLAGS="-D__CUDA_NO_HALF_OPERATORS__", issue https://github.com/torch/cutorch/issues/797

And don't forget to sudo mv /usr/bin/gcc_bkp /usr/bin/gcc back otherwise you might have problems with building other applications which require newer gcc.

so torch is really old fashioned staff
