[PyCUDA] Pycuda installation with cuda-9.0

[Baskaran Sankaran]

Hi everyone,

I am having hard time installing PyCUDA with cuda-9.0 on rhel7.

I tried both pip install as well as from source and in both cases. Here is
the command I used when building from source. I suspect it has something to
do with wrap_cudadrv.cpp (see the error messages below), though I am not
sure what. Any help will be much appreciated.

$ cd pycuda-2017.1

$ ./configure.py --cuda-root=/usr/local/cuda-9.0
--cudadrv-lib-dir=/usr/lib64/nvidia --boost-inc-dir=/usr/include
--boost-lib-dir=/usr/lib64 --boost-python-libname=boost_python
--boost-thread-libname=boost_thread

$ python setup.py build

Here is my setup:

RHEL-7
gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623
cuda-9.0

I get the following cryptic message in the end:

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

And, here is some more snippet before the setup.py fails.

I am having hard time installing PyCUDA with cuda-9.0 on rhel7.

Thanks for the report. CUDA 9 support was added to git a while back but
was not yet part of a release. I've just released 2017.1.1 that should
address (at least some of) the issues you ran into.

Best,
Andreas

Thanks Andreas. That did solve the issue.
