[SOLVED] cuda-toolkit installation

smith9876 · 2012-08-06 02:11:12

Hello Everyone,
This is my very first post here on this website. I need some help in installing cuda-toolkit. I am getting the below given errors and I am unable to understand how to fix it. I believe opencl-nvidia is conflicting with the nvidia-utils. I am also not able to remove nvidia-utils because of the dependencies. Could anyone help me here. Thanks!

command that I gave was -> pacman -S cuda-toolkit

use `pacman -Qo <filename>` on the files that it reports existing in filesystem.

Post the ouput here using code tags

like these

edit: those files (at least the few I checked) do not belong to nvidia-utils, so that is not the problem.

thanks for the prompt reply. Here is what I got:

pacman -Qo libOpenCL.so
error: failed to find 'libOpenCL.so' in PATH: No such file or directory

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libopenCL.so
error: failed to read file '/usr/lib/libopenCL.so': No such file or directory

I am getting the same message for all the files I mentioned in the previous post.
Also, if you see this link you will find out that all the previously mentioned files are in nvidia-utils.

You need to give the complete path, ex:

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so

And case matters.

Also, double check that list. The files you get in your error message are not in nvidia-utils. They do seem to be in lib32-nvidia-utils which is a different package and they are installed in a different location: the paths are different (/usr/lib/ vs /usr/lib32).

Are you using mutlilib?

Thanks for finding out the mistake - I gave the lowercase. Now, I corrected it and this is what I got. Since, no package owns these files is it ok to delete them and then install cuda-toolkit?? Surprisingly, no package owns these files then how come they are installed in my computer?

[root]# pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so.1
error: No package owns /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so.1

[root]# pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so
error: No package owns /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so

[root]# pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so.1.0.0
error: No package owns /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so.1.0.0

[root]# pacman -Qo /etc/OpenCL/vendors/nvidia.icd
error: No package owns /etc/OpenCL/vendors/nvidia.icd

[root]# pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libcuda.so
error: No package owns /usr/lib/libcuda.so

[root]# pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libcuda.so.1
error: No package owns /usr/lib/libcuda.so.1

[root]# pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so
error: No package owns /usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so

[root]# pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so.1
error: No package owns /usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so.1

The general advice would be to remove them - or to be safe move/rename them to save them as a temporary backup. For example rename each file to the same name with an additional extension ".BAK"

Once they are moved or removed, you should be able to install the desired packages. If everything works right then you can delete any of the temporary backups you made. If anything goes severely wrong, you could still just move the .BAKs back and be back where you started. This is highly unlikely, and in most cases you'd be fine to just remove these files then install the proper package.

The only way they could have gotten there is if you - or someone else who had or was granted access to your computer - put them there at some point. Perhaps you used an installation script of some sort that was not made for arch linux.

Thanks a lot for your help, I am able to solve the problem and installation went smoothly.

Glad it worked. You can edit your inital post and change the title to include "[SOLVED]".
