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

It appears TensorFlow now supports cudNN 6.0. I was getting errors with cudNN 5.1.

Using TensorFlow version 1.3.0.

If you're getting

ImportError: libcudnn.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Try using 6.0

Answer 2

I was able to solve problem by changing my cudNN installation from cudNN 6.0 to cudNN 5.1. cudNN 6.0 has the file libcudnn.so.6 while cudNN 5.1 has the file libcudnn.so.5.
