Hi Cuda Experts,

I just trying to compiler the sample projects included in the SDK, but never success. I always have a internal compiler error, below are the logs an details:

  • Operating System: Win 7 64bit home premium
  • Synopsis description of the problem: Cannot compile any of the cuda code
  • CUDA toolkit release version: cudatoolkit_4.1.28_win_64
  • SDK release version: gpucomputingsdk_4.1.28_win_64
  • Device Driver: devdriver_4.1_winvista-win7_64_286.16_notebook
  • Compiler for CPU host code: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express
  • System description including: CPU: Core i7-267QM, CPU speed: 2.20GHz, RAM: 8GB, system type: Win7 64bit, video card: GT 540M

Please help and see if I have anything missing to start my first Cuda program.

Thank you in advance!

Sorry for the inconvenience. I checked with our compiler team and they think this is an instance of a known issue, where “CUDAFE/CUDAFE++ in 4.1 cannot handle some system locale settings”. To work around this for now, they suggest to “try other system locale settings. The system locale setting is found at Control Panel → Clock, Language, and Region → Region and Language → Administrative.”

Thanks, it seems working now, at least I can compile.

FYI, my locale setting was “Chinese Traditional (HKSAR)”.
