Hi,

I have just installed NVIDIA driver, CUDA Toolkit and gpusdk on Ubuntu 11.04

I verified the installation of nvcc and its perfect. The problem is with gpusdk. I followed the guide

When I try to “make”, I get following error.

```auto
root@Lenovo-B560:~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C# make

make[1]: Entering directory `/root/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/common'

src/cutil.cpp:28:27: fatal error: builtin_types.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

make[1]: *** [obj/i386/release/cutil.cpp.o] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/common'

make: *** [lib/libcutil.so] Error 2

```

Can anyone guide me what the problem can be as i have to really start writing simple problems.

I’m having the same issue. If anyone can help, or has suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings,

I am having the same issue. Followed the instructions to install latest driver and toolkit and sdk under Ubuntu 10.10

I end up with the following when I try to follow the guide and compile the sdk:

```auto
src/cutil.cpp:28: fatal error: builtin_types.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

make[2]: *** [obj/x86_64/release/cutil.cpp.o] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/sarikan/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/CUDALibraries/common'

make[1]: *** [lib/libcutil.so] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sarikan/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/CUDALibraries'

make: *** [all] Error 2

```

Hi,  
Problem solved. The solution at this address: [Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.](http://code.google.com/p/cudpp/issues/detail?id=71) worked for me. Just in case someone else faces the same issue.  
I did not use the default directory for my toolkit install, and that is probably the reason I’m having this issue.

Just in case that page goes away at some time: make CUDA\_INSTALL\_PATH= solves the issue (where parent directory is the directory that contains include directory, which in turn includes the header file)

Kind regards  
Seref
