ImportError: libcudnn when running a TensorFlow program

Question

I encountered the following error when trying to run a TensorFlow program:

ImportError: libcudnn.Version: cannot open shared object file: No such file or d         


        

Answer 1

Just download cuDNN 5.1 and follow the steps (Tested on Ubuntu 16.04, CUDA toolkit 8.0 )

$ tar xvzf cudnn-8.0-linux-x64-v5.1-ga.tgz
$ sudo cp -P cuda/include/cudnn.h /usr/local/cuda/include
$ sudo cp -P cuda/lib64/libcudnn* /usr/local/cuda/lib64
$ sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/cuda/include/cudnn.h /usr/local/cuda/lib64/libcudnn*

Now set Path variables

$ vim ~/.bashrc

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda/lib64:/usr/local/cuda/extras/CUPTI/lib64"
export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda

and done
