nvcc path appears to be hardcoded as "/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc", mambaforge path is "~/mambaforge/bin"

I'm trying to compile the samples on Ubuntu 22.04 (minimal) after installing CUDA toolkit with mambaforge. I believe compile is failing due to the different location of nvcc.

~/mambaforge/cuda-samples$ make
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/user/mambaforge/cuda-samples/0_Simple/matrixMulCUBLAS'

I tried the naive solution of copying nvcc to the expected directory, but then I get further compile errors.

[How] Can I make this work correctly with CUDA toolkit from mambaforge?

[Rafik89]

I was do:

apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit
mkdir /usr/local/cuda
cd /usr/local/cuda
ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia-cuda-toolkit/bin bin
ln -s /usr/include include
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu lib64
ln -s /usr/share share

Hi @alwayssummer .

I just went trough the same problem. The solution is to set the environment variable CUDA_PATH to wherever you have the toolkit installed.
For example, I'm on Debian 11 and doing:
:~/Documents/cuda-samples$ CUDA_PATH=/usr make
compiles just fine.

In your particular case I guess you'll have to set it to CUDA_PATH="~/.conda/envs/cuda" or whatever your conda enviroment is located.

Yes, this worked for me. I ran which nvcc and then added the path (without the trailing bin/)

export CUDA_PATH="/path/to/the/nvidia/compiler"
