Hello!
Just managed to install pycuda under fedora 20. Once I got going,
everything was quite simple: ./configure without any option switches
worked fine and the alternative option (python setup.py build and
install) worked too. Only a few small issues:
- The website says cuda 2.0 or higher. Fedora switched to gcc 4 a few
update cycles ago. Cuda 5 for some reason won't accept gcc 4, so to make
this work you had to hack around with gcc a little so that any cuda code
uses gcc 3. However... pycuda uses some gcc switches that only exist in
gcc 4, so using cuda 5 on fedora is not an option. Cuda 6 doesn't mind
gcc 4 (although you still have to add an --override switch when
installing) and then works fine. So for Fedora at least, I'd say (the
current version of) pycuda only works with cuda 6 and higher.
- PyCuda builds and installs under python3 (using "python3 setup.py
build"), but then fails some tests. Mainly, the error message "ndarray
is not C-contiguous" crops up.
Hope this helps some people looking to install under fedora. Sorry if
this is all well known and I was the only one unable to find it on
google :-)
Cheers!
Michael
