undefined symbol: culaGetOptimalPitch

[timeu]

Hi all
I tried to evaluate PyCULA on my machine (core i7, Quadro FX 580).

However when importing PyCULA (from PyCULA.cula import *) I get following error:

/usr/local/cula/lib64/libcula.so: undefined symbol: culaGetOptimalPitch

I am using the basic version of cula 2.1. Is this an issue of the basic version?

Here are some additional information on the setup:
CUDA3.2 toolkit and latest release driver (260.19.26)
PyCUDA trunk
cula 2.1 basic

ldd on libcula.so:

I do believe that PyCULA is meant to be used with CULA Premium.

The calls to culaGetOptimalPitch aren't necessary for functionality, so you could define your own version to return *pitch equal to rows. That said, in many cases, culaGetOptimalPitch will lead to a sometimes significant speed gain over this approach.

Hi all,

I am having exactly the same error as above.
somuss@jackie:~/louistheran-pycula-example/PyCULA/examples$ python cula_with_blas_example.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: /usr/local/cula/lib64/libcula.so: undefined symbol: culaGetOptimalPitch

I have installed CULA Dense R12 (Free edition) on Ubuntu. How do i resolve this error?

Thanking you in advance !

This routine is not included in the free version of CULA. This should be accounted for by PyCULA. You can edit the PyCULA code to work around this requirement.
