RuntimeError: Error building extension 'segment_cumsum_cuda'

Hi ! I'm trying to run Block-NeRF and I faced this error:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

That is RuntimeError: Error building extension 'segment_cumsum_cuda'. How can I resolve it ?

Hi, I also had a similar issue; here is how I fixed it:

1. Start with a clean Conda env (I guess Python env would also work, wouldn't hurt to try).
2. First things first install all the CUDA Runtime API stuff you will need. Nvidia provides the links here; if you use a Python env you could try the pip version.). I suppose here one thing is important, designate the CUDA version your Torch uses; for me it was CUDA 11.7 therefore I used the following: conda install cuda -c nvidia/label/cuda-11.7.0.
3. Install your compatible Torch, for me: pip install torch==2.0.0+cu117 torchvision==0.15.1+cu117 torchaudio==2.0.1 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu117
4. Install torch_efficient_loss: pip install torch_efficient_distloss

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

I still have this problem after following this instruction. Do you add cuda 11.7 installed using conda into the library path? or something else I can try?
