Installing PyCuda on Gentoo Linux [Edit]
PyCuda is a relatively new package on Gentoo, and as such is in the testing phase (ie not marked as stable). As of this post there are two ebuilds for pycuda:
- Ebuild for v0.92 (the "testing" version)
- Ebuild for live git version 9999 (will always be masked)
Once the testing version goes stable, all that will be needed to install PyCuda on Gentoo is:
$ sudo emerge -va pycuda
For now we must unmask one of these ebuilds for PyCuda as shown below.
Unmasking PyCuda [Edit]
Unmask v0.92 [Edit]
To unmask the latest testing version of PyCuda (as of this post v0.92):
$ sudo echo "dev-python/pycuda" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords $ sudo echo "dev-python/pytools" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
If you wish to use the latest version in git then instead of the above:
$ sudo echo "dev-python/pycuda **" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords $ sudo echo "dev-python/pytools **" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
This will unmask the "live" ebuild for PyCuda and pull directly from PyCuda's git tree.
Installing PyCuda [Edit]
To install PyCuda:
$ sudo emerge -va pycuda
