Installing gputools fails on Ubuntu 14.04LTS

Hello,

Thank you both for the help.

The short answer is it's still not working, with the same error message.
Here are the actions I took.

1) So in my /gputools folder I see a 'configure.ac' file.

I opened it in a text editor, and changed all the AC_HELP_STRING lines with
the appropriate paths (lines 6, 18, 42, 55, 64, respectively):

 AC_HELP_STRING([--with-nvcc=/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc],
 AC_HELP_STRING([--with-cuda=/usr/local/cuda],
 AC_HELP_STRING([--with-r=/usr/lib/R],
 AC_HELP_STRING([--with-r-include=/usr/share/R/include],
 AC_HELP_STRING([--with-r-lib=/usr/lib/R/lib],

saved the file...

2)
So then I ran
*autoconf configure.ac <http://configure.ac> > configure *
and then
*chmod +x configure*

I get a "configure" file in my /gputools folder.

3)
I then ran the executable by typing:
*./configure*

and then got the following output:

*checking "CUDA compiler"... "environment variable NVCC not set"*
*checking for nvcc... /usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc*
*"using NVCC=/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc"*
*checking "root of the CUDA install directory"... "environment variable
CUDA_HOME not set"*
*"using CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda"*
*checking "location of CUDA libraries"... checking for
"/usr/local/cuda/lib/libcublas.so"... no*
*checking for "/usr/local/cuda/lib64/libcublas.so"... yes*
*checking "R"... "using /usr/lib/R for the root of the R install directory"*
*"using /usr/lib/R/include for R header files"*
*checking for rpath flag style... checking for cc... cc*
*checking whether the C compiler works... yes*
*checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out*
*checking for suffix of executables... *
*checking whether we are cross compiling... no*
*checking for suffix of object files... o*
*checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes*
*checking whether cc accepts -g... yes*
*checking for cc option to accept ISO C89... none needed*
*rpath flag style... gnu*
*checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu*
*checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu*
*configure: creating ./config.status*
*config.status: creating src/Makefile*

4)
so then, I go back to my home directory and run:
* R CMD INSTALL gputools_0.5.tar.gz*

and then I get:

* installing to library ?/home/erol/R/library?
* installing *source* package ?gputools? ...
** libs
Warning: no source files found
** R
** preparing package for lazy loading
** help
*** installing help indices
** building package indices
** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib) :
 shared object ?gputools.so? not found
Error: loading failed
Execution halted
ERROR: loading failed
* removing ?/home/erol/R/library/gputools?

My apologies if I've missed something or misinterpreted anything.

I do want to add that I re-ran *deviceQuery* and it passed, as well as
*bandwidthTest*, which also passed.  Let me know if the output of the two
tests would be helpful.

Thanks very much for your advice and help.

Regards,

If you download directory from the github repo you aren't provided with a
'configure' file but the 'configure.ac' file (which is in the src/
directory of your gputools directory).  As such none of compilation
instructions, which are rather complex for CUDA, are being passed to your
compiler which will create the gputools.so file you are looking for.  You
first need use the 'autoconf' program to create the 'configure' file.

autoconf configure.ac > configure
# make executable
chmod +x configure

Then try it again, report back if you have further problems.

Hello,

I'm trying to install gputools on Ubuntu 14.04LTS and I'm not having much
luck.  I'm not sure if it helps, but here's the R info that's output when
I
run it:


R version 3.2.0 (2015-04-16) -- "Full of Ingredients"
Copyright (C) 2015 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)


Here are the steps I've taken so far:
*1) Run the following in the terminal:*

*git clone https://github.com/nullsatz/gputools.git
<https://github.com/nullsatz/gputools.git>*

-This creates a "gputools" folder in my /home directory

*2)  Then run the following in the terminal:*

*R CMD build gputools*

-This creates the gputools_0.5.tar.gz in my home folder

*3) Then I run the following command (which is causing issues)*

*R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="--with-nvcc=/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc
--with-r-lib=/usr/lib/R/lib --with-r=/usr/lib/R/ " gputools_0.5.tar.gz*

and I get the following output:

** installing to library ?/home/erol/R/library?*
** installing *source* package ?gputools? ...*
*** libs*
*Warning: no source files found*
*** R*
*** preparing package for lazy loading*
*** help*
**** installing help indices*
*** building package indices*
*** testing if installed package can be loaded*
*Error in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib) : *
*  shared object ?gputools.so? not found*
*Error: loading failed*
*Execution halted*
*ERROR: loading failed*
** removing ?/home/erol/R/library/gputools?*
** restoring previous ?/home/erol/R/library/gputools?*

I've checked the paths, and found my '*libR.so*' tucked away all alone in
*/usr/lib/R/lib*, but I don't know where *gputools.so* is and I can't find
it by searching.

Any feedback on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help.
