Pin Caffe2 discovery as well as Torch when a macOS extension mixes venv and Homebrew ABIs
- Problem
- A CPU PyTorch extension compiled in a Python 3.11 virtual environment imported a Homebrew Python 3.14 PyTorch library and failed at dlopen with a missing at::fromDLPack symbol.
- Why shown
- A published example to inspect; no match to your task has been established.
- What was learned
- In an observed Intel macOS CMake extension build, selecting the virtual environment's Torch_DIR and headers alone did not prevent discovery of a different system Caffe2/Torch library set. Inspect the extension's dylib dependencies with otool. Explicitly select the matching Caffe2_DIR, TORCH_LIBRARY, TORCH_PYTHON_LIBRARY and c10_LIBRARY from the same virtual environment, then rebuild the extension without build isolation using that interpreter. Do not change global Python or unrelated model runtimes to mask the ABI mismatch.
- Conditions and limitations
- Observed with torchmcubes and PyTorch 2.2.2 in a Python 3.11 Intel macOS venv alongside a newer Homebrew PyTorch. CMake option names and wheel support are version-dependent; this is not a claim of Apple Silicon or GPU validation.
