Installation on Debian

There exist libcuda-dev packages in the non-free archive area, but they seem incomplete or obsolete (or both). I instead used the NVIDIA upstream files, installing CUDA onto a 64-bit Debian Unstable system 2010-01-25 (hand-rolled 2.6.32.6 kernel, built with gcc-4.4). This machine did not have CUDA-compatible hardware (it uses Intel 965).

  • Download the Ubuntu 9.04 files from NVIDIA's "CUDA Zone".
  • Run the toolkit installer (sh cudatoolkit_2.3_linux_64_ubuntu9.04.run)
    • For a user-mode install, supply $HOME/local or somesuch
* Please make sure your PATH includes /home/dank/local/cuda/bin
* Please make sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
*   for 32-bit Linux distributions includes /home/dank/local/cuda/lib
*   for 64-bit Linux distributions includes /home/dank/local/cuda/lib64
* OR
*   for 32-bit Linux distributions add /home/dank/local/cuda/lib
*   for 64-bit Linux distributions add /home/dank/local/cuda/lib64
* to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig as root

* Please read the release notes in /home/dank/local/cuda/doc/

* To uninstall CUDA, delete /home/dank/local/cuda
* Installation Complete
  • Run the SDK installer (sh cudasdk_2.3_linux.run)
    • I just installed it to the same directory as the toolkit, which seems to work fine.
