Installation issue on CentOS 6.5: invalid ELF header

Engineering NuPIC

Hi, there. I just wanna try out NAB demo on my CentOS with python 2.7.13 installed. I’ve already installed nupic(1.0.4.dev0) and nupic.bindings(1.0.1) from PyPI. When I try to run run.py, the compiler just throw the following errors:

        Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "run.py", line 178, in <module>
        from nab.detectors.numenta.numenta_detector import NumentaDetector
      File "/root/NAB/nab/detectors/numenta/numenta_detector.py", line 23, in <module>
        from nupic.algorithms import anomaly_likelihood
      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nupic-1.0.4.dev0-py2.7.egg/nupic/algorithms/__init__.py", line 27, in <module>
        from nupic.bindings.math import NearestNeighbor
      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nupic.bindings-1.0.1-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/nupic/bindings/math.py", line 49, in <module>
        _math = swig_import_helper()
      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nupic.bindings-1.0.1-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/nupic/bindings/math.py", line 45, in swig_import_helper
        _mod = imp.load_module('_math', fp, pathname, description)
    ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nupic.bindings-1.0.1-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/nupic/bindings/_math.so: invalid ELF header

Looking forward to your reply!

I don’t think you have NuPIC installed properly. Looks like you installed from source, can you go into $NUPIC and run ./scripts/run_nupic_tests.py --unit and see if unit tests pass?

Just tried the code you provided, got these errors. Do I need to reinstall NuPIC?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “./scripts/run_nupic_tests.py”, line 262, in
os.chdir(os.getenv(‘NUPIC’))
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found

First set the NUPIC environment variable to be the path to your nupic checkout. Then try running the script again.

Hi, Matt. I’ve managed to run the test code, but it returned the same result as I provided above. By the way, if I wanna run NAB demo, do I have to install nupic.core, or just nupic + nupic.bindings? Thank you.

I think I’m confused about how you have NuPIC installed. You said you installed nupic 1.0.4.dev0 from PyPi, but that’s not possible. We don’t publish dev builds to pypi. If you have 1.0.4.dev0 installed, you must have installed from source code. Can you follow these directions to find out what version you really have installed?
