python theano Optimization failure due to: local_dot_to_dot22

问题

I just pip installed theano and tried to run theano.test(). It produced a very long log of errors and I copied the first part. I also tried a couple other examples - I have seen

"local_dot_to_dot22"

and

 "ValueError: invalid token "Files\Enthought\Canopy\App\appdata\canopy1.5.2.2785.win-x86_64\Scripts" in ldflags_str: "-LC:\Program Files\Enthought\Canopy\App\appdata\canopy-1.5.2.2785.win-x86_64\Scripts -lmk2_core -lmk2_intel_thread -lmk2_rt"

several times.

I'm using python 2.7 (canopy), scipy 0.15.1-2 and numpy 1.9.2-1. I am very new to theano. I appreciate if you can point me to the right direction. Thanks!

回答1:

The problem here is problem caused by having spaces in your path, i.e. Canopy is installed in C:\Program Files\Enthought\Canopy but the Theano scripts don't work well with the space between Program and Files. Try uninstalling Canopy and reinstall in a directory with no space in the path.

You should also follow the other instructions for installing Theano on Windows. Unfortunately it's not as simple as just pip install theano.

In case you don't want to reinstall things, if they're heavy programs, for instance, affecting Window's registry and so, you can try symbolic links.

A symbolic link will create something similar to a shortcut to a folder, but seen as an actual folder by other applications.

So, you can do something like this:
