Hello experts! I installed NVSHMEM 3.5.19 via apt on Ubuntu 24.04 on a CUDA 13.0 machine. I cannot build my target with the minimal CMake configuration of find_package + linking nvshmem::nvshmem_host nvshmem::nvshmem_device.

The build fails with an error message I attached below.

My WAR so far is the below (LLM suggested). Please let me know if this an issue from my setup.

set_target_properties(nvshmem::nvshmem_host PROPERTIES
        IMPORTED_LOCATION_RELEASE "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvshmem/13/libnvshmem_host.so.3"
)

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

CMakeLists.txt like below:

find_package(NVSHMEM REQUIRED)
set_target_properties(foo PROPERTIES
        CUDA_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION ON
        CUDA_RESOLVE_DEVICE_SYMBOLS ON
)
target_link_libraries(foo PRIVATE nvshmem::nvshmem_host nvshmem::nvshmem_device)

NVSHMEM Version

3.5.19

Hi Jonathan! These CMakeFIles are in your project, right? and you have our NVSHMEMConfig.cmake available in your build environment ? https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvshmem/blob/devel/cmake_config/NVSHMEMConfig.cmake.in

HEY @benhg!! sorry for the late response.

• NVSHMEMConfig.cmake lives in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvshmem/12/cmake/nvshmem. Is that what you meant?
• I don't think I'm doing anything other than the recommended find + link, but it doesn't work.
• If helpful for diagnostics, this is another WAR that works.

sudo ln -sfn /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvshmem/12/libnvshmem_host.so.3.5.19  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvshmem_host.so.3.5.19
