error: command '/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc' failed with exit status 1

Instructions To Reproduce the Issue:

I git clone the latest PyTorch3d lib (2021.12.28).

and run the command

CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda CUB_HOME=/tmp/software/cub-1.10.0 FORCE_CUDA=1 PYTORCH3D_NO_NINJA=1 pip install -e .

My Environments are:

gcc (GCC) 7.3.1 20180303 (Red Hat 7.3.1-5)
nvcc --version Cuda compilation tools, release 10.1, V10.1.105
Python 3.6.8
PyTorch 1.7.1_cu10.1

How can I solve this issue?

[bottler]

This error seems to be specific to CUDA 10.1, certain versions of nvcc and certain gcc/library versions. Specifically the compiler cannot cope with the standard library. See e.g. pytorch/vision#1893 and traveller59/spconv#42 which have some suggestions including just changing versions.

@bottler Thank you very much! I tried this suggestion with only changing one line of the code and I Successfully installed pytorch3d.
