Guys,
I downloaded the latest version of Nvidia driver for my 9600GT card. I am on Ubuntu 8.10 (32-bit machine). I have the following driver installed according to my NVidia XServer settings Driver version = 190.42 The driver was installed by running as a sudo. I am able to compile ALL examples that comes with CUDA-2.3 without any problems. I am having difficulty compiling the OpenCL stuff. I downloaded the following file gpucomputingsdk_2.3b_linux.run When I run this file, this creates two sets of directory, on closer inspection the directory under SDK is a copy of the contents of what is available at the SDK direcotory level. For example, they both have directories called C and OpenCL. This is not how I had it for CUDA. Can some one explain why this is? It is likely I am doing some thing wrong! If I now change directory in to OpenCL directory, as per the release notes, I get the following Entering directory `/home//libs/openCL/sdk/OpenCL/common' src/oclUtils.cpp: In function ‘void oclLogPtx(_cl_program*, _cl_device_id*, const char*)’: src/oclUtils.cpp:575: warning: ignoring return value of ‘size_t fwrite(const void*, size_t, size_t, FILE*)’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result ar: creating ../..//OpenCL//common//lib/liboclUtil.a a - obj/release/oclUtils.cpp.o make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/libs/openCL/sdk/OpenCL/common' make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ibs/openCL/sdk/shared' a - obj/release/shrUtils.cpp.o a - obj/release/rendercheckGL.cpp.o a - obj/release/cmd_arg_reader.cpp.o make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/libs/openCL/sdk/shared' make -C src/oclReduction/ make[1]: Entering directory `/home/libs/openCL/sdk/OpenCL/src/oclReduction' oclReduction.cpp: In function ‘void runTest(int, const char**, ReduceType) [with T = int]’: oclReduction.cpp:140: instantiated from here oclReduction.cpp:477: warning: unused variable ‘runShmoo’ oclReduction.cpp: In function ‘void runTest(int, const char**, ReduceType) [with T = float]’: oclReduction.cpp:143: instantiated from here oclReduction.cpp:477: warning: unused variable ‘runShmoo’ /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenCL collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [../../..//OpenCL//bin//linux/release/oclReduction] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/satheesh/libs/openCL/sdk/OpenCL/src/oclReduction' make: *** [src/oclReduction/Makefile.ph_build] Error 2 It looks like it can't build the examples, because its looking for the libOpenCL.so some where? Can some one tell me what is happening here? I thought it may be under /usr/lib like for CUDA, where you can find /usr/lib/libcudart.so - should I have the same for OpenCL? If I should, obviously I don't have it - does this mean my driver hasn't built correctly? or am i doing some thing really stupid? Apologies, I am a little new to this OpenCL/Cuda world ..... sv |

QUOTE (initram @ Nov 2 2009, 07:28 PM)  afaik, opencl is only available with the driver version 190.29 Aghh - that explains it - I just assumed the latest version would work for all, will know next time. I not that CUDA is 190.19 (beta i think) and OpenCL is 190.29 as you say. Does this mean, if I install 190.29, CUDA will stop working? It would be bad if thats the case... I assume in order uninstall the driver, stop my gdm, login to command line and do sudo ./Nvidia driver name -uninstall? sv650 |

I installed NVidia 190.42 driver and when I enter make in ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/OpenCL I get error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenCL collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Is it true that 190.42 does not include OpenCL and 190.29 does? So I should downgrade ? |
