[1] 2129 illegal hardware instruction (core dumped) th ./waifu2x.lua

[Saren-Arterius]

Currently I am using Arch Linux.
My GPU: GTX 660 Ti

Relevant packages:

• linux-ck 4.3-1
• linux-ck-headers 4.3-1
• cuda 7.5.18-1
• lib32-nvidia-libgl 355.11-1
• lib32-nvidia-utils 355.11-1
• nvidia-ck 355.11-5
• nvidia-libgl 355.11-1
• nvidia-utils 355.11-1
• opencl-nvidia 355.11-1
• openblas 0.2.15-1

I can confirm that I have followed all the steps installing luarocks packages, including Torch.

However, libsnappy-dev is not present but snappy 1.1.3-1 presents, which should be the same thing. I tried to downgrade snappy to 1.1.0-2 which is the oldest possible version, but there is no difference.

Any ideas?

th ./web.lua also shows the same core dump message as soon as an image is uploaded.

I found that Torch test failed, probably not waifu2x's issue.

Reinstalled torch and its dependencies, test passed, and th waifu2x.lua works now.
