Error in running train.py

Hi! 👋

I'm following your instructions in README.md to get things running. For context: I'm running on a Microsoft Azure GPU, using Tensorflow 1.5 and Python 3.5. When I run python train.py, I'm getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/jameso2/handwriting-generation/.env/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow.py", line 58, in <module>

    return load_dynamic(name, filename, file)

    return _load(spec)
ImportError: libcublas.so.9.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What could be causing this?

Thank you for this awesome work! 😊

Hi!

It looks like a problem with CUDA version. As far as I remember TensorFlow 1.5 uses CUDA 9.0 in prebuild binaries (from PyPl), so make sure you have this version installed on your machine. Let me know if that was the issue. :smiley:

Thank you, that worked!
