Bug#725649: nvcc fatal : Path to libdevice library not specified

[Vedran Miletić]

Package:nvidia-cuda-toolkit
Version: 5.5.22-1

Running any example with PyCUDA results in:

% python hello_gpu.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "hello_gpu.py", line 12, in <module>
    mod = SourceModule(open("hello_gpu.cu").read())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pycuda/compiler.py", line
262, in __init__
    arch, code, cache_dir, include_dirs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pycuda/compiler.py", line

    return compile_plain(source, options, keep, nvcc, cache_dir)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pycuda/compiler.py", line

    cmdline, stdout=stdout.decode("utf-8"), stderr=stderr.decode("utf-8"))
pycuda.driver.CompileError: nvcc compilation of /tmp/tmpDX0YZu/kernel.cu failed
[command: nvcc --cubin -arch sm_21
-I/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pycuda/cuda kernel.cu]
[stderr:
nvcc fatal   : Path to libdevice library not specified
]

nvidia-cuda toolkit 5.0.35-7 works fine. I'm not sure if this is on
PyCUDA or nvidia-cuda-toolkit's side. Apologies in advance if it's
PyCUDA.
