Cannot compile PyTorch under gcc 7, 8, 10, 11, or 12

1

Hello folks, I’m struggling to compile PyTorch. It doesn’t compile on my Ubuntu 22.04 machine with gcc version 10 or 11, due to crashes in gcc (I get cc1plus: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault), it doesn’t compile with gcc version 12 due to an Nvidia header rejecting gcc 12, but even if I comment out that check it still fails to compile with gcc 12, due to some warnings that are promoted to errors while compiling some MKL stuff (even when I set USE_MKLDNN=0). I’ve also tried compiling in the pytorch/pytorch:1.12.1-cuda11.3-cudnn8-devel and pytorch/pytorch:latest docker containers, and I can’t get it compiling there under gcc 7 or 8 either, following the exact instructions from the main README – again, I get internal compiler error: Segmentation fault crashes.

I’m struggling to see how one is supposed to be able to build PyTorch from source. Is there some docker container that it’s known to build in? I feel like I’ve tried every permutation of environments, and they all crash one way or another.

Thanks,

-Peter

These containers are building PyTorch:

I don’t know which base OS they are using but if it’s Ubuntu 22.04, they would be using gcc 9.4 (I think).
The wheels are using a CentOS container but I don’t know which gcc version they are using.
