I tried a basic example similar to one from "taco: A Tool to Generate Tensor Algebra Kernels":
> taco "A(i,j) = M(i,j)" -i=M:foo.mtx -f=M:dd -time
after successfully reading the mtx file the command fails with:
Compile: 88.0345 ms
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'taco::TacoException'
what(): Error at /home/scott/Dropbox/taco/src/tensor.cpp:713 in assemble:
The compile method must be called before assemble.
edit: also, binding to the wrong name (e.g. -i=N:foo.mtx) causes a seg faullt
