Hi Simone, sorry for the late reply. July was pretty crazy, but I'm slowly recovering.
I've never seen your particular error, but I would recommend two things. First, configure.py is *not* necessary to install PyCUDA, it's just a handy way of editing the build configuration. Instead, you may manually create a 'siteconf.py' file in PyCUDA's root directory. An example is here: http://wiki.tiker.net/PyCuda/Installation/Linux/Fedora In addition, your error looks a bit like you're suffering from the recent problems between distribute and setuptools. See this page for more information: http://wiki.tiker.net/DistributeVsSetuptools Hope this helps, Andreas On Tue, 20 Jul 2010 07:19:00 +0200, Simone Mannori <simone.mann...@gmail.com> wrote: > 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).
