module 'fb.torch.async_rng' not found

Hi, I'm trying to train the model on AWS instance (Bitfusion Boost Ubuntu 14 Torch 7), but getting this error:

I installed fbcunn and all the deps, as described in https://github.com/facebook/fbcunn/blob/master/INSTALL.md. I expect the missing module should be installed as a part of fblualibs (which I did install with fblualibs/build.sh), but looking into fblualib/build/Makefile (the makefile produced by the fblualibs/build.sh), there is nothing about fblualib/torch/AsyncRNG.cpp so it probably does not get build.

I tried to run cmake . under fblualibs/torch, but got this error:

See also "/home/ubuntu/code/fblualib/fblualib/torch/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

How should I install fb.torch.async_rng?
Thank you for any help.

The only Cpp result (the modules compiled with make) from fblualib is /usr/local/lib/libfblualib.so -- does that contain fb.torch.async_rng Lua module?

Additional info: I first tried to install fblualib with curl -sk https://raw.githubusercontent.com/facebook/fblualib/master/install_all.sh | bash (which checks out v1.0 tag of fblualib, which does not have fblualib/torch/CMakeLists.txt). Then I tried the master and that's when I got the "install TARGETS given no LIBRARY DESTINATION" error.

@vojtajina were you able to resolve this issue with fb.torch?

Any updates? Is there other ways running the code of the paper?

Hi, I am trying to run NAMAS, and got the same error 'No LuaRocks module found for fb.torch.async_rng' so tried to install fblualib

I ran install_all.sh from v1.0 of fblualib with v1.0 of thpp

git clone -b v0.35.0 --depth 1 https://github.com/facebook/folly.git
git clone -b v0.24.0 --depth 1 https://github.com/facebook/fbthrift.git
git clone -b v1.0 https://github.com/facebook/thpp
git clone https://github.com/facebook/fblualib

but it throws error while building thpp as:

How to install it? Please help.

Dear @atana1 i have the same problem while compiling. The screen shot is attached...

Thanks
