PyCUDA working on Ubuntu 9.04 here as well. Had to apt-get install the Boost 1.35 libraries (as I recall, something like "apt-get install libboost1.35-dev", not the basic libboost-dev package, which is still based on 1.34).
And I had to switch to gcc-4.1 to build CUDA 2.1 (found instructions in CUDA forums). I wish I had documented the exact steps. I dont recall any other major issues though (there were definitely one or two other minor tweaks, but all easily solvable with the help of Google). ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Minjae Kim Sent: Friday, May 08, 2009 2:15 PM To: Andreas Klöckner Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PyCuda] Complete recipe for PyCUDA? I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and PyCuda 0.93. I have no issues now. I do have a (different) recipe for installing it on Ubuntu; if the one online does not work well, feel free to let me know. I myself moved away from MATLAB+Windows for research purposes. Somehow I never could install PyCuda on Windows without Visual Studio 2003. Ubuntu installation is smoother.

Using http://documen.tician.de/pycuda/install.html on Debian Lenny or Ubuntu 8.10 should "just work", as in, copy and paste the commands, wait, and you're done. I use Debian myself. On that note, any news with respect Ubuntu 9.04? Is that working ok now? Or are there still issues?
