Error loading nvidia.ko trying to install 190.16/190.18

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

Hi,

I am running Ubuntu 9.04 64bit with gcc 4.3 (the one installed by default) on a machine that does not (currently) have an nvidia adapter. I am trying to run cuda in emulation mode and then install the adapter.

I install the driver (which correctly, I think, fails to load the nvidia.ko driver) and then install the toolkit and ths sdk.

My problem is that when I try make emu=1 in SDK/C I get the following error:

pattakosn@yamaha:/opt/CUDA-sdk/C$ nvcc --version

NVRM: No NVIDIA graphics adapter found!

Looks like your GPU isn’t being detected. Does it appear in lspci output?

It is correctly not detected as there is not one. I (falsely?) deduced that the error message was a problem. My intention was to run cuda in emulation.

Thank you

SOLVED

It was silly. For some reason the common.mk files under NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/common and NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/shared/ did not point to /opt/cuda where I installed cuda but to the default installation location (/usr/local/cuda).

I guess it is a minor installation bug.
