Hi there,

I am trying to install,

OS: Ubuntu 16.04
Language: python 2.7

I am following official installation guide and after the following command execution,

Hello, do you have CUDA installed? Make sure you are download the right TensorRT version paired with the right version of CUDA you have installed.

Same problem

Hello!

I have the same problem too.

I have the same problem
I’m installing TensorRT 4.0 from .deb file(nv-tensorrt-repo-ubuntu1604-cuda9.2-ga-trt4.0.1.6-20180612_1-1_amd64.deb)
cuda9.2 and cudnn 7.4 are already installed on Ubuntu 16.04
At first, I wanted to install TensorRT 5.0, but there’s no compatible version for cuda 9.2, so I use TensorRT 4.0 instead.
But got the same error.

@surgey

Use Tar file instead of deb file

10

For anyone who is still seeing this issue can you provide the output of “dpkg-query -W | grep cuda” and the filename of the local_repo deb file you are trying to install?

11

I solved this problem.
The reason is my cuda was installed by .run file.
Reinstall cuda 9.2 with deb pack and the tesorrt 4.0 goes well.

Thanks @gehaocool for providing an update.

I came across this issue when attempting to install tensorrt5 using the .deb installer. My problem was that i had the wrong version libcudnn7.

apt list | grep cudnn

libcudnn7/now 7.4.1.5-1+cuda9.0 amd64 [installed,local]
libcudnn7-dev/unknown 7.3.1.20-1+cuda9.0 amd64

I ran

sudo apt autoremove libcudnn7

to remove the newest version, downloaded the cudnn 7.3.1 runtime deb package, and installed that version.

libcudnn7/unknown,now 7.3.1.20-1+cuda9.0 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libcudnn7-dev/unknown,now 7.3.1.20-1+cuda9.0 amd64

After this I re-attempted the tensorrt install without any problems.

I think you’re missing the CUDA 10.0 debian packages. You can install the following deb file to setup the CUDA network repo which will contain the CUDA 10.0 packages that you need.

That was it. Thankyou!

On a QA note, shoudnt that instruction have been in the DeepStream_Release/README for DeepStreamSDK-Tesla-v3.0.tbz2?

Can an admin change this posting thread type so that i can mark it as solved?

Tnx!

Tensorrt is not working with libcudnn7/now 7.4.1.5-1+cuda9.0 amd64 [installed,local]. You need 7.3.1.

19

You need to install TensorRT 5.1.5 GA. thanks.

Thanks, this also solved my issue.
