OSError: libtorch_hip.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

One user is using the following code to install torch and torchaudio:

pip install \
  torch==1.10.0+cu111 \
  torchvision==0.11.0+cu111 \
  torchaudio==0.10.0 \
  -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

and it throws the following error when running tdnn/train.py:

OSError: libtorch_hip.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

The fix is to specify the CUDA version while installing torchaudio. That is, change torchaudio==0.10.0 to torchaudio==0.10.0+cu11`. Therefore, the correct command is:

pip install \
  torch==1.10.0+cu111 \
  torchvision==0.11.0+cu111 \
  torchaudio==0.10.0+cu111 \
  -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

AttributeError: module ‘distutils’ has no attribute ‘version’

AttributeError: module 'distutils' has no attribute 'version'

The fix is:

pip uninstall setuptools

pip install setuptools==58.0.4
