Install cudnn

Default Tensorflow supports cuda 8.0 and cudnn5.1, but I installed cudnn 6.0 I came across the same issue In [1]: import tensorflow --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow.py in <module>() 40 sys.setdlopenflags(_default_dlopen_flags | ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL) ---> 41 from tensorflow.python.pywrap_tensorflow_internal import * 42 from tensorflow.python.pywrap_tensorflow_internal import __version__ /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow_internal.py in <module>() 27 return _mod ---> 28 _pywrap_tensorflow_internal = swig_import_helper() 29 del swig_import_helper /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow_internal.py in swig_import_helper() 23 try: ---> 24 _mod = imp.load_module('_pywrap_tensorflow_internal', fp, pathname, description) 25 finally: /usr/local/lib/python3.5/imp.py in load_module(name, file, filename, details) 241 else: --> 242 return load_dynamic(name, filename, file) 243 elif type_ == PKG_DIRECTORY: /usr/local/lib/python3.5/imp.py in load_dynamic(name, path, file) 341 name=name, loader=loader, origin=path) --> 342 return _load(spec) 343 ImportError: libcudnn.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-1-a649b509054f> in <module>() ----> 1 import tensorflow /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tensorflow/__init__.py in <module>() 22 23 # pylint: disable=wildcard-import ---> 24 from tensorflow.python import * 25 # pylint: enable=wildcard-import 26 /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tensorflow/python/__init__.py in <module>() 49 import numpy as np 50 ---> 51 from tensorflow.python import pywrap_tensorflow 52 53 # Protocol buffers /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow.py in <module>() 50 for some common reasons and solutions.

Include the entire stack trace above this error message when asking for help. I have installed cudnn 6.0 while it needs libcudnn.so.5, apparently it couldn't find libcudnn.so.5. It seems that your tensorflow needs cudnn 5.x, so install cudnn 5.x  Make sure you have already installed cuda 8.0 and exported the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH To install cudnn 5.x, try the following commands Extract tgz files $ tar -zxvf cudnn-8.0-linux-x64-v5.1.tgz Check the files $ cd cuda/lib64/ $ ls -l total 150908 lrwxrwxrwx 1 doom doom 13 Nov 7 2016 libcudnn.so -> libcudnn.so.5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 doom doom 18 Nov 7 2016 libcudnn.so.5 -> libcudnn.so.5.1.10 -rwxr-xr-x 1 doom doom 84163560 Nov 7 2016 libcudnn.so.5.1.10 -rw-r--r-- 1 doom doom 70364814 Nov 7 2016 libcudnn_static.a Here you will see 2 symbolic link files, and just copy libcudnn.so.5.1.10 and libcudnn_static.a to /usr/local/cuda/lib64 Make symbolic link files $ cd /usr/local/cuda/lib64/ $ sudo ln -s libcudnn.so.5.1.10 libcudnn.so.5 $ sudo ln -s libcudnn.so.5 libcudnn.so $ ls -l libcudnn* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 May 24 09:24 libcudnn.so -> libcudnn.so.5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 May 24 09:24 libcudnn.so.5 -> libcudnn.so.5.1.10 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 84163560 May 24 09:23 libcudnn.so.5.1.10 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 70364814 May 24 09:23 libcudnn_static.a Copy cudnn.h in include directory to /usr/local/cuda/include $ sudo cp cudnn.h /usr/local/cuda/include/ Check $ cat /usr/local/cuda/include/cudnn.h | grep CUDNN_MAJOR -A 2
