make install error when compiling a program with cuda

Question

I am trying to compile THIS program for my ubuntu system using the master source. I have installed the AMDGPU-PRO drivers and the AMD 3.0 SDK drivers via the basic install instructions on AMDs website.

I have also installed the CUDA toolkit since I would like the program to work with AMD & NVIDIA GPUs. The CUDA toolkit was installed by doing the following:

`sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_9.1.85-1_amd64.deb`
`sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub`
`sudo apt-get update`
`sudo apt-get install cuda`

I followed THESE compiling instructions on github.

# Ubuntu / Debian
sudo apt install libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev cmake build-essential libhwloc-dev
git clone https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak.git
mkdir xmr-stak/build
cd xmr-stak/build
cmake ..
make install

Everything seems to work OK until I run the "sudo make install" command which returns the below errors.

It seems like the issue has to do with CUDA being unable to locate a file. I am unsure if this is a path error or a gcc version error. I have tried reinstalling gcc, but with no luck. The program does compile correctly when used without CUDA.

Answer 1

I have the same error with CUDA 9.1, but with CUDA 9.0 everything is ok. Try to uninstall CUDA 9.1 and install CUDA 9.0, it must help you to compile xmr-stak.

sudo apt-get remove cuda
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install cuda-9.0
