installing CAL on linux

how to install CAL on linux

Hi there,

I downloaded the ATI-SDK for linux and I tried to build the samples...

I can build the opencl samples, but I can't build the cal one's:

 

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -laticalrt

From what I've read from the documentation provided for the ATI-SDK, I must have CAL "installed" if I what to execute code in a GPU (or even for detecting GPU's as a platform...).
I have
ubuntu 10.04 64b
ATI catalist control center (2.12)
ATI SDK 2.2
I would appreciate any help, as I am new to this kind of "hot stuff"

 

Thank you.

Hi fabrice.leal,

There is no need to install cal separately. Actually cal dll (libaticalrt.so, libbaticalcl.so & etc )comes with catalyst  driver itself & they are in /usr/lib folder.

Could you test LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

try echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

it must contane path to aticalrt

If it is  not contane, add path. by export $LD_LIBRARY_PATH;$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

or add to ld.so.conf  and do ldconfig.

More detailes you could find in installation notes of sdk.
