CUFFT library

[ktavabi]

I am running current dev master on OS X 10.11.2 with CUDA toolkit 7.5, pycuda, and scikits-cuda, mne.cuda.init_cuda() returns OSError: cufft library not found. Never encountered this one, and it appears that the CUDA toolkit installation should've included this lib. Any seasoned MACOS users have any ideas how to solve this?

Is that on init of scikits.cuda? If so, you could try pinging them, too. Please tag me if you do because I'd like to follow.

I don't see any mention of "cufft" in the file scikits.cuda.__init__.py Is that what you meant?

[larsoner]

Nah, I meant where are you getting the error in mne-python? It's possible we're catching it and the traceback isn't so useful, in which case we should improve the error message to say which library import fails (e.g., a from scikits.cuda import fft call or something).

Can you try this on your system and see if you get that error?

from skcuda import fft

or if you're running and older version,

from scikits.cuda import fft

If it is indeed a problem with scikits-cuda as I suspect, you will probably need to ask over there.

Closing as an issue with other lib. Did this ever end up working?

[ktavabi]

Nope.
