CULA and CUBLAS

[tang]

Dear Dr. John,

I eventually have a chance to test the GPU. After installed the CUDA driver and package, I have successfully built and test the example project provided by CUDA SDK. However, After I downloaded your product cula_1.1b-win64.exe and installed it to that machine, I opened the example project $\CULA\examples\fortran\fortran_vc9.sln and tried to build the project, the following link error displayed:

1>------ Build started: Project: fortran, Configuration: Release x64 ------
1>Checking Environment
1>Compiling with Intel(R) Visual Fortran 11.1.038 [Intel(R) 64]...

1>rc.exe not found.

1>fortran - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========


Could you please help me to check this problem?


Thanks,
Zhanghong Tang



PS:
I have tested the hardware by the example program 'bandwidthTest.exe', the following message displayed:

This doesn't appear to be a CULA (or hardware) problem in any way as rc.exe is Microsoft's Resource Compiler executable that comes with Visual Studio by default. Perhaps the machine's visual studio installation was incorrectly done?

Dear Dr. Dan,

Thank you very much for your kindly reply. I tested that the other projects (the C++ project provided by your product and Fortran project I created before) can be successfully built. So I don't think that the VS installation has problem.

Thanks,
