Bug 310277 – x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-195.36.15 does not install nvidia.icd (OpenCL)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Philipp Krähenbühl 2010-03-19 19:26:02 UTC]

The nvidia-drivers-195.36.15 ebuild doesn't install the file /etc/OpenCL/vendors/nvidia.icd. This file is used by the OpenCL library included in the driver. If it's not installed, OpenCL is unable to get the platform id's (see this post http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=160071).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge nvidia-drivers
2. g++ example.cpp -lOpenCL -o example
3. ./example

Actual Results:  
Failed to get platforms: -1001

Expected Results:  
Platform name:NVIDIA CUDA
Platform version:OpenCL 1.0 CUDA 3.0.1
Platform vendor:NVIDIA Corporation
Platform profile:FULL_PROFILE

In the future, please attach a diff. Makes it much easier to actually see what needs to be changed and will probably result in a quicker response time.
