error: value useGPUcache is not a member of object BIDMat.Mat

[xinleipan]

I was trying to run BIDMach on a Linux 14.04 machine with CUDA 8.0 reinstalled. I download BIDMach using "git clone git@github.com:BIDData/BIDMach.git" and then use "mvn package" to install it. However, I got the error as denoted in the title. What's wrong?

Did you run ./getdevlibs.sh?

[xinleipan]

I tried to run "./getdevlibs.sh" but it didn't help. Well, I guess it's the problem of my network settings, since I got errors indicating "cannot resolve host".

[jcanny]

getdevlibs.sh is obsolete. Please check the setup instructions.

That flag was added to BIDMat recently. Please update your BIDMat lib before posting an issue. Do mvn install in the BIDMat directory to push the updates.

[DanielTakeshi]

This seems to have been resolved, so I'll close the issue.

For the benefit of anyone else who might be reading this now, John is correct, the setup instructions have been updated (see the BIDMach and BIDMat Wikipedia pages on "Installing and Running"). The nice thing now is that with the mvn install command, we no longer have to compile BIDMat.jar and then copy it over manually. That library automatically updates based on the maven repository. For instance, looking at the library files, I now get:

(I'm only printing a subset of them.)

I see my BIDMat libraries for the CPU and GPU versions both updated.
