John,

Thanks. I upgraded to opensuse 12.2 and gcc 4.6 is somehow in conflict with 4.7. But I have installed 4.3 and everything should work just fine with it.

I was just curious since Axel mentioned that he compiled with 4.7 if there is a way to do it with cuda. But maybe he compiled without cuda.
