Missing -lcuda: Having to add cuda-6.5/lib64/stubs dir to cuda.buildinfo about cuda

[tmcdonell]

This is strange that you needed to specify the stubs directory. It looks like that is an internal directory that we shouldn't need to worry about...

Which Linux distro are you running? Which version of the CUDA package are you having problems with (i.e. from hackage or github)? I just installed both versions on a Ubuntu 14.04 box with CUDA-7.5 without problems.

Thank you for your response.

I've forgot to add - I am installing the runfile for Fedora 21 on Fedora 22. The cuda package was from github (version 0.7.0.0)

Do you have to add the stubs directory when you use nvcc normally? Perhaps build one of the sample programs from the CUDA SDK and show us the log, so we can see what flags the makefiles used.

[mkloczko]

There is no need to add stubs directory when using nvcc.

The log for compiling volumeRender is:

Does your installation happen to include a pkg-config file? It might be in /usr/local/cuda-7.5/lib64/pkgconfig. If so can you post its contents for me?

Looking at this again, the need to add -L/usr/lib64/nvidia is a bit suspicious to me, and adding the stubs dir might have indirectly pointed you to the right place (or perhaps the other way around). The pkg-config file might have more information.

Closing as inactive.
