ImportError: libcublas.so.9.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory when installing tensor flow on Ubuntu 16.04.03

Question

I am trying to install tensorflow with cuda and gpu support. When I try to import it, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \"         


        

Answer 1

I had cuda-9.0 installed and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH was pointing to the correct location. Turned out that the permission of the folder /usr/local/cuda-9.0 was wrong. I could not even cd to the folder. I changed the owner of the cuda-9.0 from root to my-user-name and after that python was able to find the missing library.
