Hi there, that link sure does help, in that it makes things explicit, when you follow the link away from the install page. I did actually do enough poking around, in trying to work out what was going on, to find a file in the distribution ./pycuda.egg-info/requires.txt that lists pytools>=8 py>=1.0.0b7 decorator>=3.2.0 but, of course, that didn't mention "distribute" which I why I started thinking there might be other python things that were not explictly listed. Maybe you could explicity add those dependencies to the bit on the "Installing PyCUDA on Linux" page that says To follow, you really only need four basic things: o A UNIX-like machine with web access. o Nvidia's CUDA toolkit. PyCUDA was developed against version 2.0 beta. It may work with other versions, too. o A C++ compiler, preferably a Version 4.x gcc. o A working Python installation, Version 2.4 or newer. and mention needing the python packages in that file you linked to and that you need the "distribute" package as well, allowing you to remove the need for web access. (You should not need web access to install what amounts to a couple of extra python packges, above what you'ld find supplied in an OS distro's python) By the way, I have since been made aware that python's decorator package is installable as part of the next Ubuntu up, 10.10, from our 10.04, but again, having that explicit dependency listed would inform the process for all, and it certainly would have helped me. All the best and thanks for the feedback, which has answered the question posed, Kevin -- Kevin M.
