I can't setup this, error is:
csrc/type_shim.h(13): error: class "at::Type" has no member "scalarType"
1 error detected in the compilation of "/tmp/tmpxft_00004318_00000000-6_multi_tensor_scale_kernel.cpp1.ii".
error: command '/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc' failed with exit status 1
who know how to fix it?

Which PyTorch version are you using?
You can check it with python -c "import torch; print(torch.__version__)"

In case your PyTorch version is older than 0.4, you should update it using the install instructions given on the PyTorch website.

The master branch of pytorch now does break the backward compatibility of cpp-extension due to a breaking change, you should check out to release version.

@Stonesjtu Could you post a link to the issue if possible?

[Stonesjtu]

@ptrblck Sure, Check this out : pytorch/pytorch#17991. My original text does not support should be wrong, it's just an API change, sorry for that.

Thanks for letting us know! :)
I'll take a look into this issue so that we can build again from PyTorch master.

@ptrblck's fix is in flight (#272), should be merged in the next couple days. We also need to ensure backward compatibility with versions of Pytorch from 1.0 to present, and get rid of some deprecation warnings with current master.
