Lua image errors


I have installed lua image according to this - link. I also tested my install with luajit -limage -e "image.test()" and it says 0 errors and 0 warnings. Also, when I try

> require 'image'
> l = image.lena()

There are no errors. However, when I try image.display(l), I get the following errors:

/home/srilatha/torch/install/share/lua/5.1/trepl/init.lua:384: module 'qt' not found:No LuaRocks module found for qt

I have torch running properly so I don't know what the problem would be with qt. How can I fix this?


Solution

  • Did you read this by any chance?

    https://github.com/torch/image/blob/master/doc/gui.md

    image.display among other functions can only be accessed via the qlua Lua interpreter.

    Calling that function from LuaJit will result in the errors you're facing.
