How can i solve the bug that "CMakeCUDACompilerId.cu" failed?

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

Hi, everyone!
I’m learning to write program in CUDA. However, the first time i ran the hello_world.cu with CMake , something went wrong… I 've searched on the internet, while still cannot find an effective solution. Moreover, when i complied a libtorch program in C++, i encountered the same problem.

cmake version 3.27.7, Cuda compilation tools, release 11.5, V11.5.50 and i ran the program on remote server via VSCode.
What should I do?
Many thanks!

try a newer CUDA version than 11.5 see here

thanks for your help!! i reinstall the cuda-11.7 under user dir instead of root dir. however, i encounter the same problem. i discover that there is something wrong with the system variants. For example, $NVVMIR_LIBRARY_DIR only includes path of the old version cuda, and $PATH includes both the new and old version cuda. i am confused since i have updated the $PATH, $LD_LIBRARY_PATH in ~/.bashrc file. i use grep command to search whether other files include path like ‘/usr/local/cuda-11.5/bin/…/lib’, while it doesn’t exist.

i guess the reason is that cmake cannot find the proper nvcc complier, so i use the -DCMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER property. it works but i still wonder how to solve the problem thoroughly.

eg, explicitly:
cmake . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER=`which nvcc`
