problems installing SDK

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance
1

Hi,
i’m new to CUDA. We want to use it to accelerate R computations ( a statistical software). I downloaded CUDA Toolkit 3.1, and the installation on a SLES 11 SP1 went fine. After that, i ran the script gpucomputingsdk_3.1_linux.run as a regular user, as proposed in the Gettingstarted.pdf. Then i changed to ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C and typed make.
I got the following error:

…
make[1]: Leaving directory /home/bernd/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/src/vectorAdd' make -C src/marchingCubes/ make[1]: Entering directory /home/bernd/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/src/marchingCubes’
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/…/…/…/…/x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLU
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** […/…/bin/linux/release/marchingCubes] Fehler 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bernd/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/src/marchingCubes’
make: *** [src/marchingCubes/Makefile.ph_build] Fehler 2

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

i fount the error myself. During compilation, the linker ld was missing several links, although the suitable libraries were available.

I had to create in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 symlinks using something like “ln -s libcuda.so.195.36.15 libcuda.so” (several times for several libraries), then the compilation ran without errors.
