I installed pycuda from the Ubuntu 14.04 repos and that worked fine. That might be why this hadn't been seen before, because other folks took the simpler route of either using all repo versions (apt-get) or all outside versions (e.g., anaconda). Generally speaking, I've found that repo versions are packaged to be compatible with themselves, but if you build/install your own versions of certain libraries, you will likely have to update other library versions as well in the process.
