ImportError: libcudnn when running a TensorFlow program

Question

I encountered the following error when trying to run a TensorFlow program:

ImportError: libcudnn.Version: cannot open shared object file: No such file or d         


        

Answer 1

At this time Tensorflow does not support cuDNN 6. If your error is that it cannot find libcudnn.so.5 and you have only installed cuDNN 6 which provides libcudnn.so.6, you'll have to install cuDNN 5 until cuDNN 6 support is introduced. There's an open bug report that you can follow on the Tensorflow Github page to find out when they start supporting cuDNN 6.
