pghguins Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Just asking in anyone here does this because I have a 8400GS in a kubuntu machine I would like it to fold. Its on the latest stable release 9.04 and I'm having some issues getting it setup. Tried over at the official folding@home forum but not much help... I'm not sure what the directions mean here in the instructions. " You will need to tell the system that the CUDA toolkit is installed and make sure the cudart.dll.so file can find its required dependencies. Add /usr/local/cuda/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run as root" add that file to that file and run what as root? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

road-runner Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I had it working at one time using guides on the net, I can not tell you how I did it though it was awhile back. I then tried to get it working latter on and failed at it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
