LoRA weight merging giving torch distributed error on single-node single-gpu

I am running this notebook. However, when I try to merge LoRA and model weights before exporting to TensorRTLLM (python /opt/NeMo/scripts/nlp_language_modeling/merge_lora_weights/merge.py). I received the following error:

Initializing distributed: GLOBAL_RANK: 0, MEMBER: 1/1

Commencez par finetuning/Gemma/lora.ipynb et /opt/NeMo/scripts/nlp_language_modeling/merge_lora_weights/merge.py, puis reproduisez la fusion sur un seul nœud et un seul GPU en utilisant les overrides indiqués. Cherchez pourquoi l’initialisation distribuée tente de s’attacher au port 53747 lors de la restauration du modèle. Le travail est terminé lorsque les poids LoRA et du modèle sont fusionnés avec succès pour la configuration indiquée, sans erreur de socket.
