It looks like you need a different version of AMD's device drivers. I'm not familiar with which drivers should be installed and which version of Linux they apply to. Hopefully somebody knowledgeable will come along and give you the necessary information.

Did you replace one GPU with another a few months ago? Did you upgrade your Linux distro?

I use Archlinux and previously it worked without any problem.
Since the update of the AMD drivers, version 3.x, this problem has appeared.

By uninstalling the "opencl-mesa" packages and
"opencl-amd", the program is working again.
