CUDA SDK compilation error

I am in the process of setting up a CUDA workstation.

Platform specs: Intel Core 2 Duo, Nvidia GTX 280, Fedora 10, GCC version 4.3.2

I have installed the developer driver, toolkit, and the SDK.
When I try to compile the SDK example code I get the following errors:

make[1]: *** [obj/i386/release/cutil.cpp.o] Error 1

make: *** [lib/libcutil.so] Error 2

I think this means that I am missing a library file but I'm not sure.

No, that most likely means there is some error in cutil.cpp and it can't be compiled. Please include the compiler errors which should be immediately before the lines you posted. – R Samuel Klatchko
The only other messages I see are warnings that all say "warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type". This is normal from what I've observed on other systems. – Stephen__T
You either have -Werror defined (which causes a warning to be treated as an error) or you are missing an actual error. Try redirecting output to a file (make 2>&1 | tee make.log) and then go through make.log to verify you haven't missed an error. – R Samuel Klatchko
Thanks, I won't be back in the lab until Monday. I will let you know how it turns out. – Stephen__T
Looks like the Cuda toolkit was not installed correctly. Maybe I made an amateur mistake of not being SU. – Stephen__T

You will have to build the cutil library by yourself .. Inside the SDK folder, browse into the 'common" folder and type make to build the cutil files!
