Issues with TensorFlow and reverb compatibility in AlphaChip setup

[rheaj30]

I've been attempting to set up AlphaChip for my project but encountered several errors related to TensorFlow and reverb compatibility. Here's a detailed summary of the issue:

Problem Overview:
Error Messages: Undefined symbols in libpybind.so and version mismatches between TensorFlow and reverb.

Environment: Python 3.10.10, TensorFlow 2.18.0, dm-reverb 0.10.0, CUDA 12.1, cuDNN 8.9.

Steps Taken:
Installed Dependencies:

TensorFlow 2.18.0

dm-reverb 0.10.0

Set environment variables for DREAMPlace and placement cost binary.

Checked CUDA and cuDNN Compatibility:

Confirmed CUDA 12.1 and cuDNN 8.9 are installed.

Ran scripts to check if TensorFlow recognizes the GPU.

Investigated Protobuf Version:

Checked Protobuf version to ensure compatibility with TensorFlow.

Created a Clean Environment:

Set up a new conda environment with Python 3.10.

Reinstalled TensorFlow and reverb in the new environment.

Despite these efforts, the issue persists. I would appreciate any guidance or insights into resolving these compatibility issues. If possible, please provide suggestions for troubleshooting or point me towards resources that could help.
