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``:

.. code-block:: bash

  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``:

.. code-block::

  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:

.. code-block:: bash

  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'
-------------------------------------------------------------

The error log is:

.. code-block::

  pip uninstall setuptools

  pip install setuptools==58.0.4
