I am using Blender in Ubuntu with irie ppa. I've installed Nvidia-cuda-toolkit from irie and bumblebee, then I try to render using cycles but I keep getting this error in the terminal:
CUDA version 4.2 detected, build may succed but only CUDA 5.0 is officially supported
After getting this error, I downloaded Cuda 5 from Nvidia website and tried to install it, but instead got this error:
Unsupported compiler: 4.7.2
Then I tried to install with
sudo ./cuda*.run -ovveride compiler
Cuda 5 installed correctly, but when I tried to render again with Cycles I got yet another error message (again)
/usr/local/cuda-5.0/bin/nvcc: 2: /usr/local/cuda-5.0/bin/nvcc: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted stringCUDA: failed to find version number in:
CUDA nvcc compiler version could not be parsed.
I removed the Cuda files and tried to install (again), but before installation I tried to choose gcc-4.6
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.6 40 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.6
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/gcc-4.6 to provide /usr/bin/gcc (gcc) in auto mode
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.7 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.7
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/gcc-4.7 to provide /usr/bin/gcc (gcc) in auto mode
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
and select gcc-4.6 as compiler. After that I try to install Cuda (again) with
sudo ./cuda*.run everything is fine, installation succes.
But, when I try to render my model with Cycles I get the following error (again)
CUDA: failed to find version number in:
CUDA nvcc compiler version could not be parsed.
Can anyone help?
