Installing cuda 5 samples in Ubuntu 12.10
16,587
Solution 1
I am also running Ubuntu 12.10 and I found this library in folder /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
after installing freeglut3 package.
I also make a softlink and I have been able to install CUDA 5.0 examples:
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglut.so.3 /usr/lib/libglut.so
I have not checked if the samples can be compiled yet.
Solution 2
I got CUDA-5.0 to work very fine on Ubuntu 12.10. It built the samples. I was also able to compile OpenCV-2.4.4 with Cuda support, than ffmpeg with libopencv support speeding the editing and encoding of Videos up to 8x.
I've done this:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.5.0-26 freeglut3-dev mpich-dev gcc-4.6 g++-4.6
- Don't install the nvidia-driver from the ubuntu repository!, download the latest Driver from nvidia.com and do:
chmod +x (Downloadpath)/*run
thansudo lightdm stop
than cd (Downloadpath) thansudo ./NV*run
thansudo restart
- download the ubuntu-11X-version of cuda-5.0 from nvidia.com and install it (sudo ./*run) without the offered dev-driver, answer the question about install-Path with " /opt/cuda-5.0
- the default version of gcc in ubuntu 12.10 (gcc-4.7) conflicts with the Cuda-Code. so let cuda use the perv. gcc-version:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.6 /opt/cuda-5.0/bin/gcc
- let ldconf know about the cuda-libs:
echo '/opt/cuda-5.0/lib64' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-cuda.conf && echo '/opt/cuda-5.0/lib' >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-cuda.conf
than do:sudo ldconfig
- Many programs search for the (nvidia)-OpenCL-Include-Files in /usr/include. But they are not there, so link to them:
sudo ln -s /opt/cuda-5.0/include/CL /usr/include/CL
andsudo ln -s /opt/cuda-5.0/include/CL /usr/include/OpenCL
- Cuda can build the sample now. But if you want to compile Program-Sourcecode e.g. OpenCV you need to change temorarily the symbolic links in order to point at gcc-4.6 and g++-4.6:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.6 /usr/bin/gcc
-sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-4.6 /usr/bin/g++
-sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-4.6 /usr/bin/c++
- In order to avoid version-conflicts try to compile all other dependent Packages with those symlinks (e.g. OpenCV+ffmpeg+frei0r-plugins)
- After compiling: Don't forget to correct the gcc and g++ symlinks to point at Version 4.7!!

CUDA 5 is not yet supported on Ubuntu 12. For reference see CUDA 5.0 Toolkit Release Notes And Errata

I'm trying to install cuda 5 samples:
Driver: Not Selected Toolkit: Not Selected Samples: Installation Failed. Missing required libraries.
But I got this error:
Missing required library libglut.so
But:
frederico@zeus:~/Downloads$ sudo find / -name libglut.so* /usr/lib/libglut.so /usr/lib32/nvidia-current/libglut.so
Where nvidia installer is looking for? maybe /usr/lib64? There is no /usr/lib64 on Ubuntu 12.10:
frederico@zeus:~/Downloads$ ls /usr bin games include lib lib32 local sbin share src frederico@zeus:~/Downloads$ uname -a Linux zeus 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 19:31:23 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Frederico Schardong about 11 yearsI could not install the samples but could compile my projects, so I'm ok. Thank you!
-
rpardo about 11 yearsYou're welcome, I have compiled many samples. However, I have not been able to compile whole set. I think that it could be because of some particular libraries that are used in samples.

Frederico Schardong about 11 yearshave you ever used nsight to debug some cuda code? I just posted a question about this: stackoverflow.com/questions/12991271/…

Yohann about 11 yearsIndeed...

Framester about 11 years@rpardo I had also problems but only with the simpleMPI one, which I just deleted.

serbaut about 11 yearsInstalling freeglut and softlinking libglut.so worked on centos 6 too.

jtpereyda almost 11 yearsRunning 32-bit Ubuntu,
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglut.so.3 /usr/lib/libglut.so
worked for me -
Alexis Wilke almost 11 yearsThe selection between 32 and 64 bit libraries is not done like that anymore. Instead there are two sub-directories under /usr/lib/... one of which is mentioned in an earlier answer: x86_64-linux-gnu
-
jrr over 10 yearsAdditionally, I was able to get through the installer by changing my /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/g++ symlinks from gcc-4.7 to gcc-4.6.

Frederico Schardong over 10 yearsdidn't try it but awesome contribution!
