Missing recommended library: libGLU.so

Question

I am trying to install NVIDIA CUDA. When it is installing the tool kit, it displayed the following error message.

Missing recommended library: libGLU.so
Missing recommended library: libXi.so
Missing recommended library: libXmu.so

I am not a Linux guy, so I used apt-get install libGLU.so to install it, but it did not work. How can I fix this and install these? I am on 32 bit Linux.

Answer 1

Try apt-get install libglu1-mesa libxi-dev libxmu-dev libglu1-mesa-dev. You can find this info yourself by searching the Ubuntu package contents.

Answer 2

I use nvidia-docker to setup a CUDA develop environment, also encounter the same issue. So I try to solve this issue and writing down a Dockerfile. Also adding some useful comments, hope it'll be helpful.

Here is my Dockerfile:

https://github.com/allenyllee/server_setup/blob/master/nvidia_docker/Dockerfile

# CUDA 8.0
#
# VERSION               0.0.1

FROM      nvidia/cuda:8.0-devel-ubuntu16.04
LABEL     maintainer="[email protected]"

### You should also search 'UBUNTU_PKG_NAME = "nvidia-367"' and replace it to 'UBUNTU_PKG_NAME = "nvidia"' 
### for all matched files in the NVIDIA_CUDA-8.0_Samples folder to make it works.
