Installing CUDA 5.0 RC samples

Question

I tried to install the full CUDA 5.0 package but I got the following error:

Driver:   Not Selected
Toolkit:  Not Selected
Samples:  Installation Failed. Missing          


        

Answer 1

On CentOS 5.6 x64 , Kernel: 2.6.18-308.24.1.el5

1. yum install freeglut

2. ln -s /usr/lib/libglut.so.3 /usr/lib/libglut.so

then i also install CUDA 5.0 Sample successfully.

Thanks this post.

Answer 2

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04, I fixed it by the following:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglut.so /usr/lib/libglut.so

So the problem was ubuntu are installing libglut library in a different path for x64 architectures, so it can be fixed making a symbolic link to /usr/lib/.

Answer 3

Ubuntu 12.04 x64 actually creates a /usr/lib/glut.so -- it just points to libglut.so.3 not /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglut.so

rm /usr/lib/libglut.so;
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglut.so /usr/lib/libglut.so
