Question

I’m trying to compile some code. Here is the error I’m getting:

error while loading shared libraries: libcudart.so.4: cannot open shared object file

Now I’ve included /usr/local/cuda/include and linked to /usr/local/cuda/lib and passed the -lcudart flag on the compile prompt.

Yet I still get this run-time error!

I’ve just started using Eclipse, and this is really annoying.

Any insight greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

This usually happens with old code when they change the folder structure. Locate where the file is expected in the old code, then make a sym link to where it actually is.

Also try launching eclipse as root. Or running:

ldconfig /usr/local/cuda/lib
