Hello everyone

i’m installing CUDA 3.0, but i am unable to make the SDK examples.
Whaen I type make in the NVIDAI_GPU_Computing_SDK/C directory i get the following lines on the terminal window:

make[1]: Entering directory /home/acustica/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/common' make[1]: Leaving directory /home/acustica/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/common’

make: *** [src/histogram/Makefile.ph_build] Error 2

Can anyone help me out? i do not know what is going on.
thanks a lot.

like the error says, you don’t have write permissions to the output directories the SDK uses. I would guess you installed the SDK as root or something, so that the SDK isn’t owned by your user account, but rather by root.
