Hi All,

I've deleted the original post where I mentioned that I had to run
pycuda as root on mac osx 10.5.5 to access the card but I recently found
the fix on nvidia's forum and figured I'd post it here.

Turns out, if you're having this problem, you need to reinstall the cuda
toolkit and click "Customize" on the "Installation Type" page. From
there make sure the CUDA Kext (kernel extension?) option is enabled;
it's disabled by default.  This will allow you to run cuda sdk/pycuda as
non-root user. You will need to restart after the installation before it
works.

This IMO is a bug with nVidia's toolkit installer and should be enabled
by default *sigh*

Hope this saves someone time. I know I banged my head on it for a while.

~Justin
