Hi all,

I am installing Cutorch from rockspec: here is what I have found:

Scanning dependencies of target THC
make[2]: *** No rule to make target /share/apps/lib/librt.so', needed bylib/THC/libTHC.so'. Stop.

Please let me know. Thanks!

I can't find the package fblualib any where.

Hi, I get the following error when trying to make the manifest:

nicholas14@hermes:~/projects/rocks$ ./make-manifest.lua 
Already up-to-date.

I tried to reinstall luarocks with

curl -sk https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torch/ezinstall/master/install-deps | bash

Not sure it that makes sense. But the luarocks version stays the same.

Gents, the luarocks server is down, and has been for 24h at least.

�Would you guys be ok to have our own mirror hosted on github or something? It's really unacceptable.

Trying to make torch-twrl installable as per

twitter-archive/torch-twrl#22

Seems like a simple configuration issue:

Error: Directory torch-twrl not found inside archive torch-twrl.git

Any advice or help?

Hi,

please update to the latest dataset-scm-1.rockspec the current one is not working.
See twitter-archive/torch-dataset#18

The rocks link (http://torch.github.io/rocks) in the README isn't available anymore.

Could you please add Element-Research/hypero?

https://github.com/Element-Research/hypero/blob/master/rocks/hypero-scm-1.rockspec

need to update the git protocol in rockspec from git://github.com to https://github.com to comply with the breaking change of https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/
otherwise you can do e.g.
git config --global url.https://github.com/.insteadOf git://github.com && torch/install/bin/luarocks install loadcaffe

I already install torch in ubuntu. How can i fix this problem..?please help

Hi guys

The new torch-scm rock has higher priority in torch-rocks than the fake torch-7 rock. This breaks new local installation of new packages, since they require torch-7, and instead find (and try to install) torch-scm.
e.g.

1. install torch globally, and make sure you do not have the fake torch7 already installed locally
2. torch-rocks install --local whatever_package_that_requires_torch7

Is it possible to rename the file torch-scm so that it gets lower priority than torch-7, please ? At least until the whole new packaging is completely operational and official.

Hi,
Apologies in case this is not the right place for this question.
I am trying to install sundown using luarocks by using:

/usr/local/bin/luarocks install sundown

while logged in as root.
This fails with following message:

Installing https://raw.github.com/torch/rocks/master/sundown-scm-1.rockspec...
Using https://raw.github.com/torch/rocks/master/sundown-scm-1.rockspec... switching to 'build' mode
Cloning into 'sundown-ffi'...
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 192.30.252.130]: errno=Connection refused
Error: Failed cloning git repository.

I suspect that this is because git:// port is blocked for me, and I use https:// port while git cloning. But I don't know how to force luarocks to use https:// port instead of git://

Because of this issue, the 2-line torch installation command from "http://torch.ch/" does not work for me, since it uses luarocks.
Can someone please tell me how to overcome this issue?

Thanks!

CMake is already used by many rocks to generate the Makefile.
I want to modify the rockspec files to also build and install the code via cmake as opposed to make.
CMake already knows how to properly invoke the chosen make program and we should use this ability to improve the cross-platform, compatibility. For example, on Windows with Visual Studio installed, CMake generates msbuild projects by default. luarocks then tries to build them using nmake and fails. CMake on the other hand should handle all builds properly.

What I propose:
In all .rockspec files I want to replace
$(MAKE) => cmake --build . --config release
$(MAKE) install => cmake --build . --config release --target install

What's the best way for me to handle this? Should I go to each rock's repository and submit PR for the .rockspec?

Trying to install the mnist dataset (https://github.com/andresy/mnist). I need to run

$ torch-rocks install [somescript]

I have already installed Torch on Linux. However I get the error that the command 'torch-rocks' could not be found. I tried to search for a file which contains the string 'torch-rocks' on the disc but the OS did not find such a file. My question is:
how do I install torch-rocks ?
