I am using CUDA 8 and I am able to run some of the examples but I can not get any of the visualizations to run. I have gotten them to work in the past, but now I am not able to reproduce the results on the same computer with a fresh install. Mint or Ubuntu.
after a successful install of CUDA I try to make the particles or nbody samples but I get this error:
>>> WARNING - libGL.so not found, refer to CUDA Getting Started Guide for how to find and install them. <<<
>>> WARNING - libGLU.so not found, refer to CUDA Getting Started Guide for how to find and install them. <<<
>>> WARNING - libX11.so not found, refer to CUDA Getting Started Guide for how to find and install them. <<<
I looked through the Getting Started guide but have not found a solution.
I am systematically working through the symbolic links. perhaps someone here can offer a suggestion...
The result of a find request...
$ sudo find / -name 'libGLU*'
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1.3.1
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1.3.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.so
I have been trying to create symbolic links to the i386* and x86* libraries but havnt gotten it to work yet.
I am, for example, trying
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLU.so /usr/lib/libGLU.so
My question now is, which libGLU.so do I need to point "/usr/lib/libGLU.so" to?
.a ?
.1?
.1.3.1?
x86 or i386? I know my system is 64bit but is CUDA expecting a 32bit library?
Doesn't seem like it should or would but... ?
I have tried the solutions on every SO and other board I can find... the two most relevant are
Cuda 6.5 cannot find - libGLU. (On ubuntu 14.04 64 bit)
and
http://kislayabhi.github.io/Installing_CUDA_with_Ubuntu/
which is where this question has existed previously.
