getting “pygpu was configured but could not be imported” error while trying with OpenCL+Theano on AMD Radeon

Question

I have followed the instructions from this:

https://gist.github.com/jarutis/ff28bca8cfb9ce0c8b1a

But then when I tried : THEANO_FLAGS=device=opencl0:0 python

Answer 1

I fixed this issue with the step-by-step installation given in the lipgpuarray website!

Download

git clone https://github.com/Theano/libgpuarray.git
cd libgpuarray

Install libgpuarray

# extract or clone the source to 
cd  
mkdir Build
cd Build
# you can pass -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/somewhere to install to an alternate location
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release # or Debug if you are investigating a crash
make
make install
cd ..

Install pygpu

# This must be done after libgpuarray is installed as per instructions above.
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

This worked for me! Good Luck
