Install from sources: Error: can't copy 'tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow.py': doesn't exist or not a regular file

[tamhd]

I recently tried to install Tensorflow on Ubuntu 14.10. I had cuda 7.0 and cudnn 3.0, so I had to install from sources following the instructions. I got "error: can't copy 'tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow.py': doesn't exist or not a regular file" when building the pip package (with GPU support):

$ bazel-bin/tensorflow/tools/pip_package/build_pip_package /tmp/tensorflow_pkg
So far, I have set the configuration for cuda and cudnn correctly. What should I do? Thanks.

Just to check: have you installed swig on your machine? It has to be installed manually (via apt-get) and is reponsible for producing that file. (I would have expected a different error message though.)

@mrry: It's what I forgot. problem fixed. Thanks.

I do have swig installed, but I'm still getting the same error. My process is outlined in this SO post (it was about a different question, but still explains everything).
