Are you suggesting that the new one (331.38, released 14 January) has regressed to not compile without the '-n-u-m' "fix"? Yes, on my TW 331.38 requires -no-unified-memory and announces that CUDA will not be functional, and: nvidia-cuda-mps-control -d is running nvidia-cuda-mps-control get_server_list doesn't report anything :( kernel 3.12.7-7.g78b11e9-desktop OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTS 450/PCIe/SSE2 OpenGL core profile version string: 4.3.0 NVIDIA 331.38 Incredible!
What a farce nVidia is! It must use programmers - a.k.a "engineers" - who aren't able to tell the difference between their 'asses' and holes in the ground!
Release one driver which compiles perfectly and then release another one 3 days later[*] which doesn't!
I just tried to compile the latest 331.38 driver with the same result as yourself, Patrick.
Pathetic, is the kindest word I could use.
[*] I made a typo in the earlier post: the 319.82 was released on the 10th January and the 331.38 on the 13th January. Basil, check locally and see if a "Dale Carnegie" Training class is available. I'm sure we can provide you with free admission.
Ah, The Man Who Lives In A Glass House speaks! Tell you what: you stop picking on Duaine, and others, and I'll stop complaining about less-than-perfectly constructed nVidia drivers.
