Error at the installation.

[Vonct]

Hi, I'm trying to reproduce your great work. I run the commands on installation guide. Everything goes well until the python setup.py install. The error comes below.

My environment:

1. CUDA11.8
2. Pytorch 2.0.0
3. ubuntu 20.04

After searching similar error, I still could not find the solution. Do you know how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, it seems that you were trying to install pointops2. Note that pointops2 is only for Stratified Transformer and is not necessarily installed for Pointcept (pointops is needed). So may I confirm that you want to run Stratified Transformer? (I haven't tested ST for a long time.)

Oh, I thought pointops2 just the updated version about pointops. I want to PTV3, but I also run the setup command in pointops folder. Same error.

Okay! As the error is raised from PyTorch. Typically, reinstalling the conda environment can solve most issues. I also have verified that PyTorch 2.x works well with our Pointcept.

After I reinstall the environment for 2 times but with a slightly different command, I successfully finished the installation (Not run the code yet).
But I noticed that, if I use pip to install pytorch rather than conda. The above error would raise. Don't know how this cloud be.
Thank you for your reply. This issue could be closed. :)
