Problem:
When you run import tensorflow in Python, you get one of the following errors:
ImportError: libcublas.so.8.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ImportError: libcusolver.so.8.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ImportError: libcudart.so.8.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ImportError: libcufft.so.8.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ImportError: libcurand.so.8.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Solution:
Install the required packages using:
apt-get install libcublas8.0 libcusolver8.0 libcudart8.0 libcufft8.0 libcurand8.0
Note that you also need to install cuDNN – see this followup post
Which version on CuDNN should you install for TensorFlow GPU on Ubuntu?
for details on how to do that.
If this method does not work, you can (as a quick workaround) uninstall tensorflow-gpu and install the tensorflow – the version without GPU support:
pip3 uninstall tensorflow-gpu pip3 install tensorflow
However, this will likely make your applications much slower.
For other solutions see the TensorFlow bugtracker on GitHub.
