CULA on Ubuntu 10.04

[vahuja4]

I have defined the CULA environment variables in .bashrc. Here is the output from env| grep -i "cula":

CULA_BIN_PATH_32=/usr/local/cula/bin
OLDPWD=/usr/local/cula/examples
CULA_LIB_PATH_32=/usr/local/cula/lib
PWD=/usr/local/cula/examples/basicUsage
CULA_ROOT=/usr/local/cula
CULA_INC_PATH=/usr/local/cula/include

Now, when I compile one of the examples that come along with CULA, here is what I get:

$ sudo make build32
sh ../checkenvironment.sh
Warning: CULA_ROOT is not defined
Warning: CULA_INC_PATH is not defined
Warning: CULA_LIB_PATH_32 is not defined
Warning: CULA_LIB_PATH_64 is not defined

Warning: Some CULA environment variables could not be found.
This may prevent successful building of the example projects

Sudo changes your user, and you've changed it to a user who doesn't have those environment variables. This is why the makefile warns you.

I am having this same error, even though I'm on Ubuntu 12.04. I have the following in both ~/.bashrc and /etc/bash.bashrc

## CULA Paths ##
export CULA_ROOT=/usr/local/cula

export CULA_INC_PATH=$CULA_ROOT/include

export CULA_BIN_PATH_32=$CULA_ROOT/bin

export CULA_BIN_PATH_64=$CULA_ROOT/bin64

export CULA_LIB_PATH_32=$CULA_ROOT/lib

export CULA_LIB_PATH_64=$CULA_ROOT/lib64

but I get the same error message as above.

If you can't get your environment variables to cooperate, you could also edit the Makefiles to hardcode the paths yourself.
