Problems running the MemNN model

See original GitHub issue

Hello, I am trying to run the training for the MemNN model on the bAbI dialog tasks and receiving the following error. Can someone help?

I saw this thread on stackoverflow, but was unable to solve the problem myself.

Ah yes–the python threads are blocked because there was an issue launching the lua threads: at the top there, it had trouble opening a required library.

Try cd {ParlAI}/downloads/memnnlib/KVmemnn/; ./setup.sh

After running setup.sh, verify that everything is working correctly by running luajit -e "require 'library.PositionalEncoder'"–if that does not give an error, you’re good.

Let me know if that works!

@alexholdenmiller I was able to run setup.sh after switching my network. Its training now.
