ImportError: libcuda.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (Ubuntu 16.04)

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation
1

Hi, I’m new to Ubuntu, so am having trouble understanding how to navigate Ubuntu to get CUDA working properly.

I’m already installed CUDA drivers as well have a working graphics driver (I had to play around with a couple graphics drivers to get one work properly) , so it seems to be a link issue according to some ubuntu forums.

I asked already on a couple of forums but so far no help.

I have all the detailed information here:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/997557/libcuda-so-1-not-found-despite-installing-cuda/997564?noredirect=1#comment1614116_997564

(as well as here)

I’ve done research for a couple of days, but can’t seem to find libcuda-so-1 but did find libcuda-so-7.

Not sure if there is a difference. Thank you.
