Could not load dynamic library 'libcudart.so.11.0';

Question

I am trying to use Tensorflow 2.7.0 with GPU, but I am constantly running into the same issue:

2022-02-03 08:32:31.822484: W tensorflow/stream_executor/platform/default/dso_loader.cc:64] Could not load dynamic library 'libcudart.so.11.0'; dlerror: libcudart.so.11.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory; LD_LIBRARY_PATH: /home/username/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/poetry_env/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cv2/../../lib64:/home/username/miniconda3/envs/project/lib/
2022-02-03 08:32:31.822528: I tensorflow/stream_executor/cuda/cudart_stub.cc:29] Ignore above cudart dlerror if you do not have a GPU set up on your machine.

This issue has already appeared multiple times here & on github. However, the solutions usually proposed to a) download the missing CUDA files, b) downgrade/upgrade to the correct CUDA version, c) set the correct LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I have been already using my PC with CUDA-enabled PyTorch, and I did not have a single issue there. My nvidia-smi returns 11.0 version, which is exactly the only I want to have. Also, if I try to run:

import os
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = '/home/username/miniconda3/envs/project/lib/'
print(os.path.exists(os.path.join(LD_LIBRARY_PATH, "libcudart.so.11.0")))

it returns True. This is exactly the part of LD_LIBRARY_PATH from the error message, where Tensorflow, apparently, cannot see the libcudart.so.11.0 (which IS there).

Is there something really obvious that I am missing?

nvidia-smi output:

Answer 1

Firstly: Can you find out where the "libcudart.so.11.0" is If you lost it at error stack, you can replace the "libcudart.so.11.0" by your word in below:

sudo find / -name 'libcudart.so.11.0'

Outputs in my system. This result shows where the "libcudart.so.11.0" is in the system:

/usr/local/cuda-11.1/targets/x86_64-linux/lib/libcudart.so.11.0

If the result shows nothing, please make sure you have install cuda or other staff that must install in your system.

Second, add the path to environment file.

# edit /etc/profile
sudo vim /etc/profile
# append path to "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" in profile file
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda-11.1/targets/x86_64-linux/lib
# make environment file work
source /etc/profile

Third thing you may try is:

conda install cudatoolkit
