julia set example - unable to run already searched other posts to check if the solution already exis

Dear Experts,

I have just started exploring CUDA. From the book “CUDA by Example (Sanders & Kandrot)” - I tried to compile and run the Julia set example. However, could not do so.
Please help resolving errors.
I am using 3.2 kit on Windows 7 (64 bit). Visual studio 2008. Have two GTX460 cards connected with SLI.
As you probably know, the julia set example code is:

Suggestions towards resolving the issue in debug mode would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi!

As the experts do not reply you, i’ll do it External Image

Your problem is in the linker. If you are using Visual Studio, you have to include (‘linking’) the libraries that you need.
In your case, i believe that is the cuda runtime library.

If the release version runs, go to the project properties (with the release configuration selected) and copy the linker section values to the debug version.

Good luck!
