As soon as someone provides package with OpenCL implementation for AMD hardware I will change PyOpenCL package dependencies. Till then this bug stays open.

[1] http://developer.amd.com/sdks/AMDAPPSDK/downloads/Pages/default.aspx Currently package depends on: libnvidia-compiler1 | libnvidia-compiler, nvidia-libopencl1, nvidia-opencl-common, Second dependency pulls OpenCL library, and third ICD file (telling OpenCL where to find available OpenCL libraries). I think it could be possible to change them to: libopencl1 opencl-icd I am not sure about first dependency (libnvidia-compiler1); I will need to experiment a bit. Then, if fglrx provides those packages, it would work without any problems. I have checked PyOpenCL with APP OpenCL on CPU and it works without any problems, so I believe dependencies are the only problem. Well, none of the mentioned packages is installed here. But you need to use their SDK.

These wrong dependencies make it harder to use with fglrx. Can you describe how you are using OpenCL with fglrx? I have tried to find packages providing OpenCL, but was able to only find NVIDIA-related packages. I do not own ATI/AMD GPU, so I do not know how people on Debian are using it with OpenCL. I'm not sure about the solution, I guess there are two ways: Remove the nvidia decencies and somehow notify the user that he needs to be running a (non-free for now) graphic driver with opencl support. Or: Properly handle the dependencies so that installing the package either fetches fglrx or nvidia* depending on the detected hardware.
