Tensorflow error : loaded runtime CuDNN library: 6021 (compatibility version 6000) but source was compiled with 5110 (compatibility version 5100)

Question

Specifications :

Ubuntu 16.04
tensorflow 1.1.0
NVIDIA 850m 4GB
CUDA 8
CUDNN 6

I have created a soft link ln -s libcudnn.so.6.* libcudnn.so.5 as suggested here. Else I was getting an error, ImportError: libcudnn.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

This is a snapshot of usr/local/cuda/lib64 What should I do to resolve the error?

Try to install different cuDNN, if you use CUDA 8 you can try cuDNN 5.1 as described here: https://softwaremill.com/how-to-upgrade-aws-deep-learning-ami-to-tensorflow-1-1-0/ (look into cuDNN section only)

But I think that I have installed cuDNN 6 as you can see in the screenshot – humble Jun 13 '17 at 15:25
From what i can see, you arę missing the ver 5, for cuda 8 you should get 5.1 and copy the files as described in the link – Kris Jun 13 '17 at 15:28
I have cuDNN 6 which is the latest version. Can't I just create a softlink to version 5.1? – humble Jun 13 '17 at 15:30
Its not about getting the latest versions but about matching them to each other – Kris Jun 13 '17 at 15:33
Is there any official source which can tell which version of cuDNN I need for CUDA 8? – humble Jun 13 '17 at 15:36
Im not aware of any, your err msg says it all imho though – Kris Jun 13 '17 at 15:37
https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-download. this mentions that cudnn 6 is also for cuda 8 – humble Jun 13 '17 at 15:40
Yes cuDNN 5.1 worked. Please edit your answer so that I may accept it – humble Jun 13 '17 at 15:52
My answer says just that :) – Kris Jun 13 '17 at 16:00
Its not that straightforward, it does not work in your setup but it will possibly work for others – Kris Jun 13 '17 at 16:05

It's no effect to create a soft link ln -s libcudnn.so.6.* libcudnn.so.5.

Just download cuDNN v5.1 from cuDNN Download and install it.

After that, it will create libcudnn.so.5 and libcudnn.so.5.1.10 automatically.
