I'm trying to install Torch/Lua version and am getting the build errors shown below. I see this discussion on Github encountering the same errors, but I don't see a resolution to it.
https://github.com/torch/torch7/issues/670
What version of CUDA does torch require? My best guess right now is that this is a CUDA version mismatch.

It appears that these issues were related to the g++ version I had (4.8). I installed the latest g++ version (5.2), then had to delete the torch directory, re-clone it, and the installation worked. Note that build artifacts will be left over so actually removing the whole torch directory was necessary.
