It seems that the import error was similar to what was happening here: http://pycuda.2962900.n2.nabble.com/ImportError-No-module-named-driver-td4099529.html
Changing out of the install director seems to have fixed the issue and it seems I can run the demo examples. For posterity, what I did was: Following these instructions: http://sn0v.wordpress.com/2012/12/07/installing-cuda-5-on-ubuntu-12-04/ - Upgrade drivers - Upgrade to Cuda 5.0 - Installed pycuda using this configuration: ./configure.py --python-exe=/usr/bin/python --cuda-root=/usr/local/cuda --cudadrv-lib-dir=/usr/lib --boost-inc-dir=/usr/include --boost-lib-dir=/usr/lib --boost-python-libname=boost_python-mt-py27 --boost-thread-libname=boost_thread-mt --no-use-shipped-boost - Changed out of the install directory and ran demo.py and gpu_hello.py -- View this message in context: http://pycuda.2962900.n2.nabble.com/PyCuda-Ubuntu-12-04-issues-tp7575064p7575068.html Sent from the PyCuda mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ PyCUDA mailing list PyCUDA@tiker.net http://lists.tiker.net/listinfo/pycuda
