Torch7 Lua, error loading module 'libpaths' (Linux)

Question

I am a new user to TORCH LDT. I have trouble loading module \'libpaths\' (on Ubuntu). The error log is:

Answer 1

This is how to configure torch + eclipse:

1) Configure the Lua interpreter with torch:

Go to Windows -> Preference -> Lua -> interpreter:

• Interpreter Type : Lua 5.2

• Interpreter executable : /opt/torch/install/bin/qlua (-> this is required to use qt features)

• Interpreter name : Qt + Torch Interpreter arguments : -lenv -e "io.stdout:setvbuf('no'); if os.getenv('DEBUG_MODE') then require 'debugger' ; require 'debugger.plugins.ffi'end"

• LinkedExecution argument : Lua 5.2

2) Pick this interpreter as a default interpreter

3) Also Working with an external interpreter, require that "LuaSocket" packet is installed, You will get a message error of "libsocket.so not found" when debugging if it is not installed

To install LuaSocket, you may try :

sudo luarocks install luasocket --only-server=http://luarocks.org/repositories/rocks-scm

or

sudo luarocks install luasocket

or

luarocks install luasocket
