Got it: needed to reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx, and then reinstall the nvidia driver again.

Thanks Mat. That helped me a lot. I am able to run deviceQuery and a few other programs. Yet, I cannot build all the executables.

make -C src/recursiveGaussian/ gives me the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL

Same for all the examples with graphics.
Do you know which package I am missing?

My config: Ubuntu 10.10. GeForce 9500M.

Hi Mat, great tutorial, it has been really useful. About the problem with Lucid Lynx I have solved it. The problem is that the file /usr/lib/libcuda.so doesn’t exist. But if you situate in the / directory and execute find . -name “libcuda*”, you will find it. So the only thing you have to do is make a link to this file in the /usr/lib directory: ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libcuda.so.256.35 libcuda.so (in my case).

I hope it will help some people. Sorry for my english

[...] First install CUDA, most places will tell you that CUDA is incompatible with gcc-4.3 but this is not true if you make a few small changes to the configuration.mk file, please see this post about installing CUDA in ubuntu [...]

Thanks a lot for the excellent tutorial.
I also don’t get -lcuda in Lucid. Anything peculiar or is it normal?

Thanks for your comments, I had fun getting this working

@Ravi I don’t know what’s going on with Lucid Lynx but I plan to upgrade soon, so I might find out what’s going on.

I forgot to say: excellent walkthrough nevertheless; very detailed and helpful.

I’m running Lucid Lynx (10.4), 64-bit, on a Lenovo T61p with a Quadro FX 570m. The walkthrough worked almost perfectly. The examples were compiled up to and including MersenneTwister. matrixMulDrv didn’t link correctly: ‘/bin/ld: cannot find -lcuda’. The compiled examples work nicely, though.
