centOS 7 / CUDA 8.0 Installation Problem | Incompatible libGL.so when searching for -lGL

Hi, I am new to Linux development. I am unable to test the nVidia CUDA installation

Error code:

$ cd /usr/local/cuda-8.0/samples/5_Simulations/nbody
$ sudo make
$ ./nbody

Error output:

[root@localhost nbody]# sudo make

Procedures followed:

Install latest copy of CentOS7 and use software updater to update all

Download nVidia driver | Official Drivers | NVIDIA
Download CUDA 8 (under legacy link) | https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-80-ga2-download-archive
Installed driver 384.98 first and Cuda8 using run files as shown in | Installation Guide Linux :: CUDA Toolkit Documentation
Installed 3-rd party libs | Installation Guide Linux :: CUDA Toolkit Documentation

*have tried rebooting

Anyone with experience of installing CUDA 8.0 on centOS please help.

Thank you.

The proper libGL.so is probably in either:

/usr/lib64/libGL.so

/usr/lib64/nvidia/libGL.so

are either of these directories on your linker search path?

you might also want to check to see if there is actually a libGL.so in either of those directories.

If the files are there, you may either need to add the directory to your linker search path, or else add link Library directive to the makefile/compile command to find them:

-L/usr/lib64

and/or

-L/usr/lib64/nvidia
