fresh installation of opensuse 11.1 (64), all updates, and nvidia driver 256.53 from the .run file, on a laptop with quadrofx570m, but I get the error libOpenCL.so no such file when I run an opencl executable

what am I missing? the installer from what I can see did “register the ICD”; the nvidia.icd is in the /etc/OpenCL/vendors directory, having “libcuda.so” as only content.

if anyone has a hint, I would appreciate letting me know.

have you tried using find/locate to find the file? it should be in /usr/lib, but anywhere listed in /etc/ld.so.conf should be fine

try running (this will take quite some time)

```auto
find / -iname '*OpenCL.so*'

```

alternatively check the installer log, it may contain list of installed files (don’t use it so don’t know for sure)
