Bonjour,

I'm using UBUNTU 9.10 64bit distro on a NVDIA based laptop (Sony F11).

CUDA 3.0 has been installed and woks perfectly.

I have tried to install "stable" pycuda-0.93.tar.gz using the instructions
available on your web site (including gcc downgrade) without success.

I have tried also to install "git" version

In both cases the error looks the same (see below for the details). I have
tried all the hints available on-line without success.

Where is the mistake ?

Do you suggest to concentrate on 0.93, git or whatever?

Do I need to use another distro? 10.04 is incompatible with NVDIA-CUDA
driver, so I have stepped back to 9.10 (suggested by NVIDIA).

I'm a really green on Python, so I'm feeling lost. Pycuda looks great. I'm
working on thermonuclear fusion simulation (www.iter.org) using custom MHD
code: Pycuda could simplify A LOT the development.

Thanks in advance for your help
