Error with Pytorch Encoding

[zixinglin07]

I am running windows and I have issues with installing this project, specifically for the torch encoding package.

Some primary error include: error: ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': The system cannot find the file specified. and Error building extension 'enclib_cpu'

These errors are usually in tandem with a giant list of other errors presumable in dependencies. When I tried to build the package via Docker, similar issues arose as well.

Things I have tried:

1. I have ensured that visual studios and the C++ compilers are properly installed, and environmental variables are set
2. I have installed cudatoolkit along with various pytorch libraries with cuda support (torch.cuda.is_available() returns True)
3. Tried to build a docker image by following the Pytorch Encoding installation guide, but error still occurs

I am running on a Windows 10 machine.

Are there any fixes or guides to get lang-seg to work under these circumstances?

Ditto. Error message: error: class template "ScalarConvert" has already been defined

[HarryCookson]

Ditto with Error building extension 'enclib_cpu'

Possibly something that was deprecated in an old version of Pytorch? Have seen this issue on another repo about three and a half years ago. No idea if it has any relevance, but just in case I've linked it.

Ditto. Error message: error: class template "ScalarConvert" has already been defined

Have you solved this problem? Thank you!

Not yet. I have got no idea to solve it.

After encountering the same ""ScalarConvert" has already been defined" issue I finally managed to install PyTorch-Encoding. Worked by building from source with a recent pytorch and CUDA version matching my installed system CUDA version.

python 3.9.17
cuda 11.8
pytorch 2.0.0+cu118

# Installing PyTorch-Encoding
git clone https://github.com/zhanghang1989/PyTorch-Encoding && cd PyTorch-Encoding
python setup.py install

Ref: https://github.com/zhanghang1989/PyTorch-Encoding/pull/418 Ref: https://hangzhang.org/PyTorch-Encoding/notes/compile.html

Have not yet tried running the LSeg code with this setup. Will do soon.

Could not run the code as I got an undefined symbol error when trying to import any modules from Pytorch-Encoding. Tried to install the library on an old node with cuda 10.2 but that didn't work either because of a gcc version incompatibility.

RuntimeError: The current installed version of g++ (9.4.0) is greater than the maximum required version by CUDA 10.2 (8.0.0). Please make sure to use an adequate version of g++ (>=5.0.0, <=8.0.0).

Hi guys, I think I have successfully solved the issue! I installed the packages mentioned in the requirements.txt with Pytorch 1.9 and cuda11.1. The newly released PyTorch encoding is not compatible with PyTorch 1.9. So, I rolled back to an earlier commit and successfully installed the package.

i have the same issue is anyone solved it? I think it's a version incompatibility issue.

hello,can you tell me which version of pytorch you rolled back？

hello,can you tell me which version of pytorch you rolled back？ It has been a long time ago... I think I just installed the PyTorch Encoding in the https://github.com/zhanghang1989/PyTorch-Encoding/tree/331ecdd5306104614cb414b16fbcd9d1a8d40e1e which is not the latest version and the problem was solved. The PyTorch version is 1.9 still.
