Bug#984881: libnvidia-ml-dev: missing libnvidia-ml.so in library search path?

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: libnvidia-ml-dev
Version: 11.2.67~11.2.1-2
Severity: important

Hello,

While trying to build a program that uses nvml, I am getting:

$ gcc transfers.c -o transfers -lnvidia-ml
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnvidia-ml
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

indeed libnvidia-ml-dev doesn't provide a libnvidia-ml.so link in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
