Optix error: OPTIX_ERROR_LIBRARY_NOT_FOUND in nvidia docker while running optixHello

[3095332731]

Hello.
I’m trying to run a project which requires cuda 11.4 and Optix 7.0 in a docker container.

I pulled from this docker image nvidia/cuda:11.4.3-cudnn8-devel-ubuntu20.04 and followed this installation guide. After running cmake and make there’re some example programs in /root/NVIDIA-OptiX-SDK-7.0.0-linux64/SDK/build/bin. However I encountered this error when running one of the examples:

root@bb491c107d01:~/NVIDIA-OptiX-SDK-7.0.0-linux64/SDK/build/bin# ./optixHello 
Caught exception: OPTIX_ERROR_LIBRARY_NOT_FOUND: Optix call 'optixInit()' failed: /root/NVIDIA-OptiX-SDK-7.0.0-linux64/SDK/optixHello/optixHello.cpp:125)

This is my nvidia-smi command output in the container:

Hi @3095332731,

maybe your problem is just setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, see how to do that in this post: Problem running OptiX 7.6 in WSL - #8 by dhart

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for helping and I finally found I missed the library libnvoptix.so.1 in the container，I tried to mount this library in the container and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it seems to be resolved, but a new error occurred:

root@3b9d06a6b950:~/NVIDIA-OptiX-SDK-7.0.0-linux64/SDK/build/bin# ./optixHello 
[ 4][       KNOBS]: All knobs on default.

[ 2][       ERROR]: Error initializing RTX library
Caught exception: OPTIX_ERROR_UNKNOWN: Optix call 'optixDeviceContextCreate( cuCtx, &options, &context )' failed: /root/NVIDIA-OptiX-SDK-7.0.0-linux64/SDK/optixHello/optixHello.cpp:129)

My $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is /usr/local/nvidia/lib:/usr/local/nvidia/lib64:/usr/lib64:/usr/lib64, and this is what I have in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

Hi. Probably you miss some other component or there is a version mismatch. Try ldd optixHello to see the dependencies.
