TypeError: dist must be a Distribution instance

[Amazingren]

When I run sh make.sh, then the following comes up, how can I overcome this problem? and my environment:

• Ubuntu18.04
• Python3.7(Anoconda)
• Pytorch1.0.1 Help!!!!!

Use pytorch 1.0.0 instead.

LoL~ Just now I set my pytorch from 1.0.1——1.0.0 and still is the same problem!

Maybe you could have a look at this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21136266/typeerror-dist-must-be-a-distribution-instance Hope this could shed you some light, however, it does not work for me

Ubuntu16.04 Python2.7(Anoconda) Pytorch1.0.0 you maybe clone not correct branch confirm you clone the branch of pytorch-1.0 后面的步骤还没有验证，不过目前，run， python setup.py build develop 没有报错 running develop running egg_info creating faster_rcnn.egg-info writing faster_rcnn.egg-info/PKG-INFO writing top-level names to faster_rcnn.egg-info/top_level.txt writing dependency_links to faster_rcnn.egg-info/dependency_links.txt writing manifest file 'faster_rcnn.egg-info/SOURCES.txt' reading manifest file 'faster_rcnn.egg-info/SOURCES.txt' writing manifest file 'faster_rcnn.egg-info/SOURCES.txt' running build_ext copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/model/_C.so -> model Creating /home/zzd/anaconda3/envs/py27/lib/python2.7/site-packages/faster-rcnn.egg-link (link to .)

Which CUDA and GCC version do you use?

EDIT: If you're using pytorch-1.0 you should use the pytorch-1.0 branch as well (git checkout pytorch-1.0) and follow the instructions on that branch (https://github.com/jwyang/faster-rcnn.pytorch/tree/pytorch-1.0)

So you should run: python setup.py build develop and not: sh make.sh

[dongzhi0312]

yes,I clone the faster-rcnn.pytorch-1.0 and run python step.py build develop, and follow the 1.0 instruction

[AlexanderHustinx]

My previous comment was directed at @Amazingren

@dongzhi0312, which version of CUDA and GCC do you use? What error are you getting?

[dongzhi0312]

I aming download vgg model， it is so slow, now is no error NVIDIA-SMI 418.43 Driver Version: 418.43 CUDA Version: 10.1
gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.11) 5.4.0 20160609

[Amazingren]

yes,I clone the faster-rcnn.pytorch-1.0 and run python step.py build develop, and follow the 1.0 instruction

Thank you so much and now I overcome the stupid problem! and now the result is as following when I run python setup.py build develop .Thank you! `running build running build_py running build_ext running develop running egg_info creating faster_rcnn.egg-info writing faster_rcnn.egg-info/PKG-INFO writing dependency_links to faster_rcnn.egg-info/dependency_links.txt writing top-level names to faster_rcnn.egg-info/top_level.txt writing manifest file 'faster_rcnn.egg-info/SOURCES.txt' reading manifest file 'faster_rcnn.egg-info/SOURCES.txt' writing manifest file 'faster_rcnn.egg-info/SOURCES.txt' running build_ext copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.7/model/_C.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so -> model Creating /home/renb/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/faster-rcnn.egg-link (link to .)

Ubuntu16.04 Python3.6(Anoconda) Pytorch1.0.1 maybe you could run python setup.py install

If someone is still having the problem for torch-related issue together with create_extension, you should try this article: https://blog.csdn.net/cyy01234/article/details/112747610?ops_request_misc=&request_id=&biz_id=102&utm_term=TypeError:%20dist%20must%20be%20a%20Dist&utm_medium=distribute.pc_search_result.none-task-blog-2~all~sobaiduweb~default-6-112747610.pc_search_result_control_group&spm=1018.2226.3001.4187
