Illegal Operation when importing TabularPrediction

When I try to import anything from AutoGluon, I get “Illegal instruction (core dumped)” from a py script. In a jupyter notebook, I get a dead kernel and nothing runs. I am running Ubuntu 18.04, followed the github installation instructions, and have executed my script and notebooks with only the import code.

I have installed using pip (see below) without error message when installing. I have also ran the set up script from the git clone with the “install” and “develop” arguments and got these errors: No local packages or working download links found for autogluon.vision==0.0.16b20201221 error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse(‘autogluon.vision==0.0.16b20201221’)

Installation:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install --upgrade setuptools
python3 -m pip install --upgrade "mxnet<2.0.0"
python3 -m pip install --pre autogluon

@Innixma @ppunyst I reinstalled ubuntu (both 18.04 and 20.04) and tried on fresh virtual environments. When installing from pip3, I always got an “Illegal instruction (core dumped)” error when I called import autogluon. I also got the same error when calling import mxnet from python3. This led me to believe there was an issue with mxnet, though I was using the required mxnet 1.7.0 version. I suspect the main issue is that I am using an older CPU (Xeon Processor E5-2670 from 2012) and the code needs to be compiled for this CPU.

Solution: I had to build both mxnet (1.7.0) and autogluon (0.0.15) on fresh installations of Ubuntu 18.04, using python3.6.9.

Here are my exact steps:

Build mxnet 1.7.0

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git ninja-build ccache libopenblas-dev libopencv-dev cmake sudo apt install gfortran sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade “cmake>=3.13.2” Download and untar mxnet 1.7.0 to incubator-mxnet cd incubator-mxnet make -j $(nproc) USE_OPENCV=1 USE_BLAS=openblas

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/lib cd python pip3 install -e . pip3 install graphviz

Build autogluon 0.0.15

cd ~ wget https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/be/d9/a540c12f965cd9f0fe587b983e4bb5a6fb1854da408b04410b60f047f46f/autogluon-0.0.15.tar.gz tar -xf autogluon-0.0.15.tar.gz pip3 install cython pip3 install scipy pip3 install pandas cd autogluon sudo python3 setup.py develop

Test in python3 -

Note: 0.0.15 has a slightly different API than 0.0.16

python3 from autogluon import TabularPrediction as task

Trace on pip and python appears. Add a line after the first import’s “;”

sudo nano /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/autogluon-nspkg.pth

I have a same issue.

I use Linux OS by using Oracle VirtualBox6.1.16 r140961 (Qt5.6.2).

Ubuntu Version: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS HOME_URL=“https://www.ubuntu.com/” VERSION_CODENAME=bionic UBUNTU_CODENAME=bionic

Python 3.6.9

I created fresh venv and ran from command line instead of through Jupyter.
