Hi there!

Just tried building whisper-git, and it fails with a error that is new to me:

Related issue: extra/python-pytorch/14

Below error is encountered for normal execution, and it works again after rollback the python-pytorch-opt-cuda (2.3.0-2 => 2.3.0-1)

I am not sure if it's the problem of whisper, just leave this workaround for your reference.

@schaefer I would search for potentially related open and closed issues at github/pytorch. This issue might be worth watching: HIP error: shared object initialization failed

@xiota Here is complete output: https://0x0.st/HdA8.cmd

@schaefer Would depend on the cause of the problem. Could you put a full log in a pastebin?

@xiota true, thank you, just verified working status with python-pytorch-opt. It does not work anymore with python-pytorch-opt-rocm though, which means no GPU for me. Can you point me to where I should look for/open an issue?

@schaefer This package is working with python-pytorch. There may be some problem with another package. Something may need to be rebuilt or an issue reported somewhere.

Stopped working with the latest arch update to rocm 6.0.0
