Torch installation fails with message “Error. OpenBLAS could not be compiled”

Posted on December 12, 2016 by Kj / 0 Comment

Problem : Torch installation fails to install dependencies (“bash install-deps”) with the message “Error. OpenBLAS could not be compiled”

Reason : gfortran dependencies could not be located.

Fix : Make sure gfortran and gcc are of the same versions. On terminal –

gcc --version
gfortran --version
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
Enter the number corresponding to the version of gfortran. (my case 5)
Run install-deps again.

Should finish to completion this time.
