[PyCUDA] Issue with running examples

[Gregory]

Hi Tomasz,

I simply used the x64 Debian one for my system. My system is running
2.6.38-10-generic and is Ubuntu 10.04. I did manage to find .debs of the
CUDA toolkit and dev Nvidia driver.

A bit of background:

-didn't install libboost
-python2.6.5
-4.0.17 of the CUDA toolkit (https://launchpad.net/~amueller/+archive/ppa)
-270.41.19 of the dev nvidia driver.
(https://launchpad.net/~amueller/+archive/ppa)

I ignored these issues upon performing a dpkg --force-all:

dpkg: python-pycuda: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you
requested:
 python-pycuda depends on libboost-python1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1); however:
  Package libboost-python1.46.1 is not installed.
 python-pycuda depends on libboost-thread1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1); however:
  Package libboost-thread1.46.1 is not installed.
 python-pycuda depends on libcuda1 (>= 270); however:
  Package libcuda1 is not installed.
 python-pycuda depends on python (>= 2.6.6-7~); however:
  Version of python on system is 2.6.5-0ubuntu1.
 python-pycuda depends on python-pytools (>= 2011.3); however:
  Package python-pytools is not installed.
Setting up python-pycuda (2011.1.3+git20110814-1) ...
/bin/sh: python2.5: not found

I had initially tried satisfying all these through various PPAs but then
I just decided to wing it since I couldn't get the right versioning. The
directory for pycuda installs into ~/pycuda-2011.1.2/ . The interesting
thing is, uninstalling the .deb does not remove the directory. So if
synaptic complains about broken files, just remove the .deb and it works
as intended!

If you need anymore details, just let me know.
