Question

Answer 1

Make sure the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is set to the correct path.

From the cuDNN Install Guide:

ALL PLATFORMS

Extract the cuDNN archive to a directory of your choice, referred to below as .
Then follow the platform-specific instructions as follows.

LINUX

cd 
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Add  to your build and link process by adding -I to your compile
line and -L -lcudnn to your link line.

OS X

cd 
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

Add  to your build and link process by adding -I to your compile
line and -L -lcudnn to your link line.

WINDOWS

Add  to the PATH environment variable.

In your Visual Studio project properties, add  to the Include Directories 
and Library Directories lists and add cudnn.lib to Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies.
