-lcuda not found

Hi, 
I'm trying to compile cpyrit under Ubuntu 11.04. But I get an error message 
after entering "python setup.py build":
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcuda
how can I fix that?
Thank you

hi, 
did you add first CUDA drivers ???
and Nvidia drivers, not the Ubuntu drivers but the real one ?

;)

There are numerous posts about this. The driver and it's libraries are usually 
installed to /usr/lib[64]/nvidia. You need to either symlink libcuda.so to 
/usr/lib[64] or add /usr/lib[64]/nvidia to the linker's search path.

1) Install latest nvidia drivers and cuda toolkit.
2) Download latest version of pyrit from svn
3) Configure variables 
add this to ~/.bashrc :
export PATH="<CUDA_INSTALL_PATH>/:$PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="<CUDA_INSTALL_PATH>/lib"
export CUDA_INSTALL_PATH="<CUDA_INSTALL_PATH>/" 
4) Run in terminal:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libcuda.so /usr/lib/libcuda.so

I hope this helps you.
