Public bug reported: The packages install the driver libraries, including symlinks intended for the dynamic linker, to versioned directories (e.g. /usr/lib/nvidia-390). The dynamic loader is configured to search these directories via /etc/ld.so.conf.d; however, this configuration doesn't affect the dynamic linker, which won't find the NVIDIA driver libraries unless the appropriate -L flag is set.
For example, it would be nice to be able to link an application that uses libnvcuvid.so without having to set e.g. -L/usr/lib/nvidia-390 on the command line, since doing so would require finding out the right driver version number to set in the -L parameter. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1760704 Title: ld has a hard time finding development symlinks in the versioned directories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/1760704/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
