Hi, I have a Core i7 920 Desktop with an NVIDIA GTX 780 graphics card, running Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring) 64-bit. I am unable to install PyCUDA but I have been able to install the CUDA Toolkit and the SDK examples compile properly.
The NVIDIA GTX 780 GPU works only with nvidia-325 drivers. So I installed them first, and then installed the CUDA 5.5 Toolkit from the nvidia website (the .run file). All the dependencies have been installed (linux-headers, linux-source, etc.) I have numpy for both python 2.7 as well as python 3.3. I followed the advice on http://wiki.tiker.net/PyCuda/Installation/Linux/Ubuntu#previewwith the following commands: vivek@farpoint:~/pycuda-2013.1.1$ ./configure.py --python-exe=/usr/bin/python3 --cuda-root=/usr/local/cuda --cudadrv-lib-dir=/usr/lib --boost-inc-dir=/usr/include --boost-lib-dir=/usr/lib --boost-python-libname=boost_python-mt-py33 --boost-thread-libname=boost_thread-mt --no-use-shipped-boost # note that I use py33 vivek@farpoint:~/pycuda-2013.1.1$ sudo make -j 4 # works only with sudo I get the following error message from this command /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcuda /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/local/cuda/lib/libcurand.so when searching for -lcurand collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-g++' failed with exit status 1 make: *** [all] Error 1 vivek@farpoint:~/pycuda-2013.1.1$ I referred to http://askubuntu.com/questions/135494/how-to-resolve-pycuda-installation-error-usr-bin-ld-cannot-find-lcudabut this did not help me either. I have a functional PyCUDA installation on another Ubuntu box (a laptop) but there I used the default python-pycuda package from the repositories, which ends up installing nvidia-current and nvidia-304, which does not support my graphics card. I'd really appreciate some help in fixing this because I'm due to submit my Master's thesis and the code I have runs too slowly on my laptop, freezing its resources. I really want to get PyCUDA to work on this desktop. Thanks in advance! Cheers, Vivek.
