Description:

Applications developped with NVIDIA Cuda 2.0 does not works. They all fail with a message "There is no device supporting CUDA."

There is a simple workaround :

Create a simlink
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libcuda.so.1 /usr/lib/libcuda.so

Would it be possible to create this link when the package is installed ?

Additional info:
* package version(s)

nvidia-utils 173.14.05-1


* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

install cuda 2.0 beta from the nvidia web site
compile and execute any exemple from the SDK.
This task depends upon

there is still no /usr/lib/libcuda.so link to /usr/lib/libcuda.so.1

I was trying to run a Windows XP app through WINE that requires CUDA 2.0. I am using the nvidia-180.22 driver from testing. It didn't work and yielded the following error message:

initializing Nvidia gpu library
cudaMalloc CUDAStream::allocate failed feature is not yet implemented.

As stated by the originator of this bug, Running

ln -s /usr/lib/libcuda.so.1 /usr/lib/libcuda.so

Fixed the problem. Just as a FYI, downloading NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg0.run and running this script to compile and install the Nvidia kernel module did include the aforementioned symlink and worked. running the script with the --uninstall flag removed the kernel module and the symlink. When I subsequently installed nvidia-180.22 from testing via pacman, it didn't work due to the missing link.
