Error in importing tensorflow

[Dudu197]

System information

• Have I written custom code (as opposed to using a stock example script provided in TensorFlow):
• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04): Windows 10 Home
• Mobile device (e.g. iPhone 8, Pixel 2, Samsung Galaxy) if the issue happens on mobile device: N/A
• TensorFlow installed from (source or binary): pip install tf-nightly-gpu
• TensorFlow version (use command below): Can't see (error while importing)
• Python version: 3.6.0
• Bazel version (if compiling from source): N/A
• CUDA/cuDNN version: Cuda 9.1; cuDNN 7.2.1
• GPU model and memory: GTX 1060 6Gb
• Exact command to reproduce: import tensorflow as tf

Describe the problem

Error while importing tensorflow.
I have successfully installed via pip, but while I'm trying to import I get the log listed error.
Unfortunately, the error dosen't describe which DLL is missing, and all tickets I've seen doesn't solved my problem.

Source code / logs

Thank you for your post. We noticed you have not filled out the following field in the issue template. Could you update them if they are relevant in your case, or leave them as N/A? Thanks.
Bazel version
Mobile device

[Dudu197]

Updated as requested.

I suspect you are using incorrect cuDNN version for Windows compatibility. Can you please try with cuDNN 7.1.4.
Also please take a look at similar issue #22794

[Dudu197]

I still got the same error.

But, reading the test bat it raised me one question, am I missing any env path?
I have created the LIBRARY_INC, LIBRARY_LIB and LIBRARY_BIN paths, but I still got the same error.

Is there any list about the environment variables I should have?

Thanks.

There are two potential issues.
First, we need to check your CPU model, does your CPU support AVX instruction sets?
Next, MSVC 2015 redistributable update 3. It is listed here under windows:
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip

[Dudu197]

My current CPU supports AVX (I7 7700HQ), and tensorflow on CPU installs and runs fine.
MSVC 2015 is also installed and working (since I've compiled dlib with GPU support).

By reading https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu, the "Windows Setup" part defined the path as v9.0, but mine is v9.1.
Is the tensorflow expecting the v9.0?
My path var is setted to v9.1.

Thanks.

[gunan]

Yes, tensorflow prebuilt libraries require CUDA 9.0 to run.

[Dudu197]

It worked!
After installing the CUDA 9.0 (instead of 9.1) I was able to successfully import and print the current version of tensorflow-gpu.

I guess I'll have no more trouble in using tensorflow.

Thanks for all support and help,
Carlos.

Hi, please help me, I am getting this - same as person above. I think I did whole instalation properly, I tried it for 3 times but it always result in same error. I am using Python 3.7.2, anaconda, tensorflow-gpu 1.13.1, CUDA 10.1, cuDNN 7.5.

[gargisri68]

Use cuda version 9 and cudnn 6.4.7

If required downgrade your python to 3.6 and tensorflow-gpu to 1.12 or lesser.

[SOLVED] Okay, so my problem is solved. Actually successfuly running on :
CUDA 9.0, cuDNN 7.3.1, python 3.6.0 (Anaconda), tensorflow 1.12 with my GPU Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti.

Thanks alot for your help and this tread in general 💯

anybody can help me
im running on: PyCharm 2019 1.3, Anaconda3 2019.03, Tensorflow 1.14.0 GPU Nvidia GTX 950 CUDA 10.0 cuDNN 7.1.4
