I am new to the waf framework of compiling and building a project. Basically I am trying to load the compiler and the library for compiling the .cu files. and I have the following line of code taken from cuda.py file written by Thomas Nagy 

self.check_cxx(header='cuda.h', lib='cudart', libpath=_libpath, includes=_includes)

my _libpath is correctly pointing to '/usr/local/cuda/lib' which contains the libcudart.dylib. but it says it cannot find cudart library.

libcudart.dylib is a symbolic link to the /Developer/Nvidia/cuda5.0/lib/libcudart.dylib

Can anyone tell what possibly is going wrong here ?

Got it working the problem was with the loading of the cxx compiler. The loading of the compiler compiler_cxx was failing because I had written load('cxx') instead of load('compiler_cxx'). After correcting this error the check_cxx was able to load the cuda and cudart libraries. Not sure why it didnt complain about the failure of cxx loading..
