When running Pycuda code on Python 3.6 I get this error when executing
"import pycuda.gl as cuda_gl"
ImportError: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python-py27.so.1.58.0:
undefined symbol: PyClass_Type
It looks like it is using the python 2.7 boost files and not
"libboost_python-py35.so.1.58.0". To use this do I need to configure
something during Pycuda install or in the install directory?

Hello,
I’m pretty familiar with CUDA (writing code since CUDA3.0), but PyCUDA is quite new for me.
I’ve been asked to configure our code that runs on CUDA 6.5, to run on GeForce GTX 1080 (compute capability 6.1).
OS is Windows 64bit, CUDA version – 6.5, GPU devices that should be supported: GeForce GTX 980Ti (compute capability 5.2) and GeForce GTX 1080 (comp.cap. 6.1), Python version – 2.7.
NVidia driver was updated (much after the CUDA), to support both the new 1080 and the old 980Ti cards.
Just to answer the question before it’s asked – there are some technical reasons that prevent us from moving now to CUDA 8.0 or 9.0 (it will be done some time later, but the new cards have to be supported today, with the old CUDA and all the existing code…).
The usual C/C++ code, compiled with nvcc with sm 52 (sm 50 is ok too), with CUDA6.5 – runs fine on both 980Ti and 1080.
The same “trick” (nvcc with sm 52 or 50), and compilation to .cubin files from python – gives the following error when trying to run:
pycuda._driver.LogicError: cuModuleLoadDataEx failed: invalid source –
The only guess I have is that the pycuda package (which was installed from binary distribution) - was linked with too old version of NVIDIA binaries (such as driver rt), and I need to recompile the pycuda sources with the current packages installed on my system.
Am I right? Or there is another explanation for this?
I’ve been looking for an answer in many blogs, but nobody describes my problem…
Any help is appreciated!
Sharon.

Hello,
I am new to pycuda and would love to to install pycuda, but I fail to use
it because of the following message.
ExecError: error invoking 'nvcc --version': [Errno 13] Permission denied
and when I try to run the test script i get the following error although
pytest is installed.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test_driver.py", line 964, in <module>
from py.test.cmdline import main
ImportError: No module named 'py.test.cmdline'; 'py.test' is not a package
I appreciate any help on this,
kris
