Error compiling when trying to train

[behroozmrd47]

I am trying to run your code on my local machine with Ubuntu 18.04, GPU-Tensorflow. I can run the Deepmind Lab perfectly, but in case of your code, I have encountering following effect when trying to train the agent:

neuwong@neuwong-PC:~/map-reader-master/lab$ bazel run //mapreader:train --define headless=osmesa

Any idea what is the problem and how can I solve it. Thanks for your help in advance.

Did you install deepmind lab separately or did you use the version I have in my repo? A newer version of Deepmind lab might be inconsistent with my code

I installed it separately too. But the above code is being ran from your depo downloaded to my local machine. So Deepmind lap and your repo are saved in two different and distinct folders.

The problem seems to be with the build and a missing package. Have you installed zlib? and have you tried an older version of bazel? I recommend googleing the issue, since it does not seem to be an issue with my part of the code...

Got you. I will try debugging it. I will keep you posted if regarding the problem and debugging it.
