what’s the problem with this error:
PGC-W-0155-Compiler failed to translate accelerator region (see -Minfo messages): Device compiler exited with error status code (c1.c: 23)

Hi watsonlee,

This message indicates that the compiler failed to create an accelerator region for some reason, the details of which can be obtained by adding the “-Minfo” flag.

Can you please post the command you are running as well as the full output, including the -Minfo flag?

The “c1” example output should looking something like:

$ make c1.exe
pgcc -o c1.exe c1.c -ta=nvidia -Minfo=accel -fast
main:

Hi Wastonlee,

One of NVIDIA’s back-end tools currently uses g++ to preprocessing header file, so you need the GNU compilers installed on your system.

Are you running on Ubuntu? Is so, please run “sudo apt-get install build-essential” to get the necessary components.
