Local install failing about torch7 HOT 10 CLOSED

Hi,

Which version of luarocks do you have? Did you try with the luajit+luarocks provided in there:
https://github.com/torch/luajit-rocks
?

Cheers,

Hello,

Yeah, should had mentioned! luarocks 2.0.12 (and luajit 2.0.2).

I might try that, didn't find it on the install-deps and according to the wiki: "only requires LuaJIT (>= 2.0) and Luarocks (>= 2.0.12)", but could be outdated.

(Might take some time to try, by making a clean gentoo ebuild)

from torch7.

Did as above, and is similar:

-- Install configuration: "Release"
CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:48 (FILE):
  file cannot create directory: /usr/local/share/cmake/torch.  Maybe need
  administrative privileges.


make: *** [install] Error 1

Error: Build error: Failed installing.

Without --local also fails, but should be a separate issue (appears to use hardcoded/non-$LUA_PATH dirs, which on other distros might coincide).

hey, how did you install torch? It looks like it installs the repos relative to the torch dir. Did you try using the ezinstall script as is, except for changing the apt-get calls to gentoo-equivalents?

from torch7.

Well the install-deps script has been replicated in Gentoo form as is, just replacing by gentoo equivalents.

As for the install-script, I also replicated it (see first post). It just sets CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH, PREFIX and installs luajit-rocks.git before pulling torch etc. I ommited a couple of different PREFIX I tried, makes no difference.

I was just avoiding luajit-rocks and a system install, but now also tried those.

@koraykv @clementfarabet : do you remember some problems with --local?

from torch7.

I never use --local. I usually make a entirely local install, using PREFIX:

curl -s https://raw.github.com/torch/ezinstall/master/install-luajit+torch | PREFIX=~/local bash

There could be some problems with --local, I'd have to try that.

from torch7.

@clementfarabet It still asks for a password for sudo this way.

from torch7.

I have to try, we use --local all the time, but we have our own script :)

from torch7.

the https://github.com/torch/distro approach is completely local install. closing the task.
