SDK compiling problem on Ubuntu 9.10

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

I have some problem when I try to compile the CUDA SDK codes:

marco@core-i7:~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C$ make

System Info:

S.O.: Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit

GCC Version: 4.4.1

NVIDIA Driver Version: 190.53

CUDA Toolkit Version: 2.3

Environment Variables (in file ~.bashrc):

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Do you have any suggestions?

2

Don’t use gcc 4.4. It isn’t supported.

3

Which gcc version do I have to use?

4

4.3 or earlier. There is still a gcc-4.3 package set in the Ubuntu 9.10 tree. Use that, but be aware that you will have to do quite a bit of fiddling to get nvcc to work properly. See this thread for details.

thank you

now I installed gcc/g++ version 4.3.4 with the command

apt-get install gcc-4.3 g++-4.3

I changed the link of gcc with the commands:

ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-4.3 /usr/bin/gcc

ln -sf /usr/bin/g++-4.3 /usr/bin/g++

I checked the compilers version typing gcc --version and g++ --version

Unfortunately, I still have some problems:

Ok I solved my problems: I had to install two library with the commands:

sudo apt-get install libXi-dev

sudo apt-get install libXmu-dev
