How to provide the dynamic library used for blas for Theano on Google Colab?

Question

As the title clearly describes the situation I'm facing, I'm getting the following warning on Google Colab while using the Theano as the backend of Keras:

WARNING (theano.tensor.blas): We did not find a dynamic library in the library_dir of the library we use for blas. If you use ATLAS, make sure to compile it with dynamics library.

So, how can I provide the the dynamic library used for blas for Theano on Google Colab?

p.s. I've already installed the Theano package. The libgpuarray, and pygpu packages according to the official documentation.

Software Stack:

• Keras version: 2.3.1.
• Python version: 3.6.9.
• Theano version: 1.0.4.

Answer 1

could you try this?

!wget -c https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda3-5.1.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

!chmod +x Anaconda3-5.1.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

!bash ./Anaconda3-5.1.0-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -f -p /usr/local

import sys

sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/')

#install theano and pygpu
!conda install theano pygpu

It downloads a host of dependencies which are used for theano.
