distro-cl is for opencl. cunn, cudnn are the cuda versions. Please use require clnn instead.

i want to use the cudnn version how to go back to using the standard torch distro if everything is linked to the opencl one? thanks for the help

You'll wnat to install into two separate folder, one for distro-cl, one for standard torch, eg, you could install distro-cl into ~/torch-cl, and the standard distro into ~/torch

To choose the one you want, simply call activate from the one you want to use, something like:

source ~/torch/bin/torch-activate

Can you check the result of running clinfo please? You need at least one GPU available, visible from clinfo.
