Thanks for this clarification. As such it should be then possibly removed from the title here, as it will add confusion.
I think one of the reasons of Torch installation not beeing stable is lack of versioning in the LuaRocks package system.
I have experienced this and wasted fair amount of time because of this - you update one innocent looking package and it will introduce weird bugs that go away when the whole system is updated.
This is the reason why I am very wary to update anything when the deadline approaches. For example I updated image package because I wanted some of its new features and it did not compile because somebody added an unnecessary optimization to load only one function from another package that apparently was not supported yet by the rest of the installation.
About your OpenCL distro, have you tried it on ARM platform?
