ImportError: Cannot import 'detrex._C', therefore 'MultiScaleDeformableAttention' is not available.

Hello!

I'm following the installation guide, but facing issues when trying to run models with MultiScaleDeformableAttention. As the title states, I'm receiving the following error:

ImportError: Cannot import 'detrex._C', therefore 'MultiScaleDeformableAttention' is not available.

Relevant packages from conda list:

detectron2 0.6 dev_0
detrex 0.1.0 dev_0
pytorch 1.10.1 py3.7_cuda10.2_cudnn7.6.5_0 pytorch
pytorch-mutex 1.0 cuda pytorch
torchaudio 0.10.1 py37_cu102 pytorch
torchvision 0.11.2 py37_cu102 pytorch

1. Clean conda environment with python version 3.7
2. Install pytorch according to the PyTorch installation guides.
3. Clone detrex
4. Init and update submodules
5. python -m pip install -e detectron2
6. pip install -e .

However when running:

python tools/train_net.py --config-file projects/dino/configs/dino_r50_4scale_12ep.py

I get the error above.

Is there any known solutions for this issue?

@Sjyhne Hello! Please make sure you have CUDA runtime, you can check it by print CUDA_HOME to see if it's None, If None, you can set it by export CUDA_HOME=/path/to/cuda-11.3/ (just an example) and rebuild detrex again

Yeah, thanks! This might be my issue. However, I am not able to access the CUDA_HOME, as cuda is not installed locally on the server I'm training on. Are there any other possible solutions to the issue? Circumventing the CUDA_HOME?

I'm not sure if you're using slrum for training~, maybe you can install CUDA Runtime locally and successfully build detrex in your local environment and using this environment on the server, or build detrex directly on the server

Maybe you can try to build detrex on that server~, find the right cuda path and then export CUDA_HOME=/path/to/cuda
