Question

when I install pycuda by this instruction:

pip install pycuda

but there is an error:

src/cpp/cuda.hpp:14:10: fatal error: cuda.h: No such file or directory

but I have installed the cuda toolkit.this is the result of nvcc -V

Answer 1

In my case I met both issues:

-lcurand not found

and

src/cpp/cuda.hpp:14:10: fatal error: cuda.h: No such file or directory

And exporting C_INCLUDE_PATH didn't helped me. Instead I needed to export general version of C_INCLUDE_PATH -- CPATH:

export CPATH=$CPATH:/usr/local/cuda/include
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda/lib64

This is how I solved the problem on Jetson NANO:

sudo pip3 install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/usr/local/cuda-10.0/targets/aarch64-linux/include/" --global-option="-L/usr/local/cuda-10.0/targets/aarch64-linux/lib/" pycuda
