TensorFlow: libcudart.so.7.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Question

I am running TensorFlow on Ubuntu 15.10. When I enter pip show tensorflow, I see that TF has been installed properly.

However, when I write import tensorflow as tf, I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: libcudart.so.7.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

For what it's worth, I have followed the instructions here and set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CUDA_HOME environment variables.

Any advice?

EDIT:

I have installed CUDA 7.5 and added these to my .profile file:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/cuda-7.5/lib64"
export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda-7.5

However, I continue to see the same error message.

EDIT:

I see the following output when I run ldd /usr/local/cuda-7.5/lib64/libcudart.so.7.5:

linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffdac7ea000)

EDIT:

If it is relevant, I use GeForce GT640.

EDIT:

I followed @tommus' advice and called source ~/.profile before running TensorFlow, and now it works like a charm.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help me in the comments -- this is my first experience with any kind of Linux distribution, and I am really very appreciative of all the patient assistance I have received so far :-) You guys are absolutely awesome!

Answer 1

After editing .profile file you either need to log out and log back in or run the following command:

source ~/.profile

The solution is persistent so there is no need to perform it ever again.

Answer 2

sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia.conf

Add this:

/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64

/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib

run

sudo ldconfig

if it works well ,please tell me.

Answer 3

If you are using pip but other answers did not work for you, try this.

In my case this exact problem was solved by reinstalling tensorflow using:

pip install tensorflow

Pip must have messed up its dependencies or something when installing other packages after Tensorflow installation (I've run pip install -r requirements.txt afterwards for my own purposes --> that broke Tensorflow).
