Installing Cuda on Ubuntu 11.10

Installing Cuda on Ubuntu 11.10 - This article originally from dickscheid.net. I haven't try this yet, but I'll let you know once I've done with it. Oh yeah be sure to thank him, by visiting his website, he sure has a lot of things useful there.

Timo Dickscheid's wrote : To install Cuda, I followed some hints on bottom of this thread, but also had to fix a few more issues.

1. Download the current Cuda Toolkit for Ubuntu and the GPU Computing SDK, and save the .run files somewhere. (I'll make your searching bit easy by visiting this link, you'll be transport to Nvidia Cuda Toolkit download page, choose for your latest current distribution.)


2. Install and select gcc/g++ 4.4
   

   sudo apt-get install \
       gcc-4.4 g++-4.4 build-essential
   sudo update-alternatives \
       --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.6 40 \
       --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.6 
   sudo update-alternatives \
       --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.4 60 \
       --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.4

   
   
   Check with
   

   sudo update-alternatives —config gcc
   gcc —version

   
   
   that you have now version 4.4.x of the compilers.


3. Install the nvidia drivers
   

   sudo apt-get install \
       nvidia-current\
       nvidia-current-dev\
       nvidia-current-updates\
       nvidia-current-updates-dev



4. As root, run the two .run files from nvidia (see 1.).


5. For compiling the SDK examples, you also need to install
   

   sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev libxi-dev

   
   
   and create the following links
   

   sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libXmu.so.6 /usr/lib/libXmu.so
   sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia-173/libGL.so /usr/lib/libGL.so

   
   
   Then go to the NVIDIA_GPU_COMPUTING_SDK_... folder. In the file C/common/common.mk change the line
   

   LINKFLAGS +=

   
   
   to
   

   LINKFLAGS += /usr/lib/nvidia-current

   
   
   Then run make. This should compile everything, indicating that the CUDA stuff works.
