Question about nvidia-cuda-toolkit

[Steven Gutstein]

Hi,

I'm trying to understand the differences between  the files installed by
cuda_5.0.35_linux_64_ubuntu11.10-1.run, which can be downloaded from the
NVIDIA website and the nvidia-cuda-toolkit Debian package. I haven't found
very much by searching the web and chat rooms.

I've noticed that the samples included with the CUDA toolkit from Nvidia's
website are missing from the Debian package as are some other files. For
example, some files that were placed in subdirectories of
/usr/local/cuda-5.0/include, such as 'no_throw_free.h', 'free.h' and others
seem to be missing.

Are there other Debian packages I should install to get the full
capabilities of NVIDIA's download? Without the sample files, how can I test
that I've installed CUDA correctly (since I haven't learned it yet). If I
decide to rely upon NVIDIA's toolkit, will that adversely effect my use of
other Debian CUDA packages - e.g. PyCuda?


Thanks,

Steven
