I am quite new to cuda. I have been trying to run the sample codes that come in
/home/vbalu2/NVIDIA_CUDA_SDK/projects
but i get this error and i am not able to figure out what the problem is. Could someone help me out?
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglut
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** […/…/bin/linux/release/matrixMul] Error 1
Just to add to the post, i get this error when i do a make NVIDIA_CUDA_SDK in
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/vbalu2/NVIDIA_CUDA_SDK/common’

Hope someone could help me
Look at the release notes. There is a problem with glut (missing symbolic link)
thanks a lot. I checked the release notes and did what was suggested but it hasnt solved the problem. i get this

You never stated which Linux distribution, you’re running, however the problem us that you don’t have a libglut for the arch you’re building against.
Itz fedora 7 and this is the display driver i am using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.07-pkg2.run
does it have anything to do with the drivers?
I solved the issue, i was trying to use 32 bit version , i used the one from /usr/lib64. It works. Thanks
