I got the sdk examples going on my mac so fast and easy, but I’m still having compiler issues on my suse 11.1 machine. I verify that I have the cuda driver (2.3) installed, and nvcc is up and running. gcc is verified now to be 4.3. In the common directory ~/NVIDIA\_GPU\_Computing\_SDK/C/common make compiles the codes in ~/NVIDIA\_GPU\_Computing\_SDK/C/common/src, but when I try to compile in ~/NVIDIA\_GPU\_Computing\_SDK/C I keep getting the complaint that it’s looking for glu.h’ the common/inc/GL location. My distribution did not include a ‘glu.h’, but I do see the reference for it in GL/glut.h In file included from ./…/common/inc/paramgl.h:24, from src/paramgl.cpp:19: ./…/common/inc/GL/glut.h:60:20: error: GL/glu.h: No such file or directory make[1]: \*\*\* [obj/release/paramgl.cpp.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Mike/NVIDIA\_GPU\_Computing\_SDK/C/common’ make: \*\*\* [lib/libparamgl.so] Error 2 ---
