I installed from the binaries using conda.
EDIT: I used conda install pytorch torchvision cuda80 -c soumith after installing conda via the 64-bit installer on the anaconda webpage (https://www.continuum.io/downloads)
I’m on arch linux
$ python --version
Python 3.6.0 :: Anaconda 4.3.1 (64-bit)'

$ pacman -Q glibc
glibc 2.25-1

I can try installing from source and see if that changes anything.
