[R] HiPLARb installation failed when magma-lib included

[Clara Antón Fernández]

Just in case it is helpful for someone else, this is what did the trick for me. I reinstalled CUDA 5.5 (and gcc g++ and build-essential, just in case), removed the previous installation of all the related libraries and reinstalled everything and HiPLARb works perfectly now.

Subject: [R-sig-hpc] HiPLARb installation failed when magma-lib included

Hi all,
I am trying to install HiPLARb package but I am running into an error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I used the installer available from their website (http://www.hiplar.org/hiplar-b-installation.html) and followed their
instructions. The installer finished without showing warnings or errors, but HiPLARb is not installed when I try to load it in R. So, I tried to install HiPLARb package manually.
If I do
R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="--with-lapack=-L/home/caf/mylibs/lib\ -lopenblas  --with-plasma-lib=/home/caf/mylibs --with-cuda-home=/usr/local/cuda   " HiPLARb_0.1.3.tar.gz

the installation is successfull, but if I try to include magma

R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="--with-lapack=-L/home/caf/mylibs/lib\ -lopenblas  --with-magma-lib=/home/caf/mylibs --with-plasma-lib=/home/caf/mylibs   --with-cuda-home=/usr/local/cuda" HiPLARb_0.1.3.tar.gz

I get the error
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :  unable to load shared object
'/home/caf/R.2.15.2-patched/lib/R/library/HiPLARb/libs/HiPLARb.so':
  /home/caf/mylibs/lib/libmagmablas.so: undefined symbol: cudaMemcpyFromSymbol

Info about the system
Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
NVIDIA Quadro K4000
CUDA 5.5
R 2.15.2, hwloc, MAGMA and PLASMA where both downloaded and installed
by HiPLARb installer

Any help much appreciated,
Clara
