getting "pygpu was configured but could not be imported" error while trying with OpenCL+Theano on AMD Radeon

I fixed this issue with the step-by-step installation given in the lipgpuarray website!

Download

git clone https://github.com/Theano/libgpuarray.git
cd libgpuarray

Install libgpuarray

# extract or clone the source to <dir>
cd <dir> 
mkdir Build
cd Build
# you can pass -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/somewhere to install to an alternate location
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release # or Debug if you are investigating a crash
make
make install
cd ..

Install pygpu

# This must be done after libgpuarray is installed as per instructions above.
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

This worked for me! Good Luck


Installing the blas library seems enough. I'm doing tests for the same problem.

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/clMathLibraries/clBLAS.git
cd clBLAS/
mkdir build
cd build/
sudo apt-cache search openblas
sudo apt-get install libopenblas-base libopenblas-dev
sudo apt-get install liblapack3gf liblapack-doc liblapack-dev
cmake ../src
make
sudo make install

And after that

git clone https://github.com/Theano/libgpuarray.git
cd libgpuarray
mkdir Build
cd Build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

make
sudo make install
cd ..
sudo apt-get install cython
sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy python-dev python-pip python-nose g++ libopenblas-dev git

Building and Installing with regard to python3

python3 setup.py build
sudo -H python3 setup.py install

I hope it can help you. Now just the dev version of theano is missing for me.
