[PyCUDA] PyCUDA installation troubles

[Burdge, Kevin B.]

Hi everyone,


I've been struggling to get PyCUDA up and running on my new machine (Ubuntu 16.04, using latest python 3 anaconda distro as python). I can get the configure and install to run without any hiccups, and have sorted out the path to the CUDA directory, but I inevitably keep arriving at the following error when I try and run the test script:

python test_driver.pyTraceback (most recent call last):
File "test_driver.py", line 6, in <module>
from pycuda.tools import mark_cuda_test, dtype_to_ctype
File "/home/kburdge/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pycuda/tools.py", line 34, in <module>
import pycuda.driver as cuda
File "/home/kburdge/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pycuda/driver.py", line 5, in <module>
from pycuda._driver import * # noqa
ImportError: /home/kburdge/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pycuda/_driver.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: _ZNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEED1Ev

Any pointers on how to resolve this would be immensely appreciated.

Best,


Kevin
