Description Bernhard Hartleb 2009-04-18 10:07:12 UTC 
After a fresh install of dev-util/nvidia-cuda-toolkit-2.1 and sci-misc/boinc-6.4.5-r1 yesterday, I noticed this message in my BOINC logs:
"Can't load library libcudart"

This is because the BOINC init script is supposed to symlink /opt/cuda/lib/libcudart.so into a BOINC specifiy directory. But there is no /opt/cuda/lib directory/symlink, at least on amd64.

Manually creating the symlink to lib64 solves the problem.

This is rather a bug in boinc's init script and not in nvidia-cuda-toolkit package.
I try to hack up a patch...

Voila. Please someone test this on a x86 (32bit) machine as I have no access to one currently.

Whoops ;]
Well on my defense i dont poses any nvidia so i never really tested the cuda :]
As a sidenote dosed is being deprecated. But dont worry i will get to this on saturday and commit properly :]
Currently too busy elsewhere :]

Just rebuild it if you want it, for new guys it will work and the issue is not worth bumping :]
