Remember to use WikiFormatting, to fill in the Port field, and to Cc the maintainer of that port so that they see the ticket.

I now see that : /usr/local/cuda/include/cuda_runtime_api.h

extern __host__ cudaError_t CUDARTAPI cudaPointerGetAttributes(struct cudaPointerAttributes *attributes, const void *ptr);

but the api from nvidia does not have "const" for the second argument.

I hope this helps.

The bug is on the openmpi end. Seems that they released openmpi 1.5.5 months after Cuda 4.1 was released, but Openmpi using cuda 4.0. Bad form.

I have cuds installed and this doesn't seem to be an error anymore.
