Error libtorch_python.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm trying to implement fastai pretrain language model and it requires torch to work. After run the code, I got some problem about the import torch._C

I run it on my linux, python 3.7.1, via pip: torch 1.0.1.post2, cuda V7.5.17. I'm getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pretrain_lm.py", line 7, in <module>
    import fastai
  File "/home/andira/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/fastai/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from .basic_train import *
  File "/home/andira/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/fastai/basic_train.py", line 2, in <module>
    from .torch_core import *
  File "/home/andira/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/fastai/torch_core.py", line 2, in <module>
    from .imports.torch import *
  File "/home/andira/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/fastai/imports/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
    from .torch import *
  File "/home/andira/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/fastai/imports/torch.py", line 1, in <module>
    import torch, torch.nn.functional as F
  File "/home/andira/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/torch/__init__.py", line 84, in <module>
    from torch._C import *
ImportError: libtorch_python.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I tried to run this line:

from torch._C import *

and got same result

ImportError: libtorch_python.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I checked /home/andira/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/torch/lib and there are only libcaffe2_gpu.so and libshm.so file, and I can't find libtorch_python.so either. My question is, what is actually libtorch_python.so? I've read some of article and like most of it talked about undefined symbol, not cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory like mine. I'm new at python and torch so I really appreciate your answer.

I run into this error when I accidentally overwrite pytorch with a different channel. My original pytorch installation is from pytorch channel and in a later update it was overwritten with the one from conda-forge. I got this error even if the version is the same. After reinstalling pytorch from pytorch channel, the error is gone.

Try to use pytorch 1.4.0. For which, upgrade the pytorch library using the following command,

pip install -U torch==1.5

If you are working on Colab then use the following command,

!pip install -U torch==1.5

Still facing challenges on the library then install detectron2 library also.

!pip install detectron2 -f https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/detectron2/wheels/cu102/torch1.9/index.html

My problem is solved. I'm uninstalling my torch twice

pip uninstall torch
pip uninstall torch

and then re-installing it back:

pip install torch==1.0.1.post2
