Replying to my own post, I now realize that when I downloaded what

in fact, the 'driver' button for 'Mac OS' was totally missing (I
mistakenly that the 'toolkit' included the driver.
So, when I try to run one of the example pgms from the SDK, I get,
e.g.
/Developer/CUDA/bin/darwin/release$ ./Mandelbrot

Any comments? Anyone know the status of CUDA drivers for OSX?
Do the installation procedure again (of the cuda toolkit), then
click on 'customize' and tick the box in front of the kernel
extension.
I think that'll work!
Just to provide some more information, I ran into the same problem
when i started with PyCuda, i found this thread:
http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t75387.html
It seems that in some (or all) installations of the CUDA 2.0 toolkit
it defaults to not installing the kernel extension that specifically
enables the cuda functionality. Simply specifying explicitly in the
installation process to install that kernel extension made it work for
me.
