opencv: OpenCV 4.8.0 build fails with CUDA 12.3, CUDNN 8.9.6.50 on Ubuntu 20.04, undefined references to libffi.so.7.

System Information

OpenCV version: 4.8.0 Operating System / Platform: Ubuntu 20.04 / x86_64 Compiler and compiler version: GCC 9.4.0 Python version: 3.11.5

Detailed description

Build fails at linking due to undefined references to libffi.so.7.

Steps to reproduce

Using cmake version 3.16.3.

Build command as been some variant of:

make -j32

I’ve attempted to get around this by setting the following system variable beforehand, with no luck:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.7

Here is the build configuration I’m using, to reproduce:

Issue submission checklist

I report the issue, it’s not a question
I checked the problem with documentation, FAQ, open issues, forum.opencv.org, Stack Overflow, etc and have not found any solution
I updated to the latest OpenCV version and the issue is still there
There is reproducer code and related data files (videos, images, onnx, etc)

Can anybody give the compactable Open-CV and CUDA versions …Please…

@Ambarish-Ombrulla just use all latest versions installed correctly. It should work.

shikhindahikar on Mar 12, 2024

So I got it to work. I had been attempting to use python from an Anaconda environment. Here are the things I did. I stopped doing that and used a virtualenv instead, python 3.11.6. I switched to CUDA 11.8 instead of 12.3. I turned off support for webp and intel ITT in the cmake settings. After that, it built as expected. Besides the errors due to webp and ITT, I think there was a library mismatch or something during build due to that Anaconda env. I may try turning CUDA 12.3 back on in the future.

@Ambarish-Ombrulla Ask on the forum your question is not related to this issue and this issue is closed.

@Ambarish-Ombrulla just use all latest versions installed correctly. It should work.

@shikhindahikar This is currently not correct.

I am using Cuda 12.3 and Opencv 4.9.0 , Using windows 11 and i have been using Cmake GUI and also Terminal Command still not working

@Ambarish-Ombrulla CUDA 12.4 and cuDNN 9.0 are currently not supported.

Use 12.3 and cuDNN 8.9.7 with OpenCV 4.9.0. If you have any build errors raise a question on the forum.

What is the version of Microsoft Visual Studio needed is the any compatible issue with that

Try to turn off the anaconda with ‘conda deactivate’ until (base) disappears. (base) name@pc~$ conda deactivate name@pc~$

I had same problem when using anaconda. (try to install opencv-4.4 at Ubuntu 20.04) When I had problem, the result of cmake .. showed 'Warning’s such as *.so ... may be hidden in {my conda virtual env/lib path}. And then, when I try to build with make -j*, I got same error of yours.

So I tried to turn off anaconda, and such warning and error disappeared with successful build.

goldbird5 on Dec 20, 2023

No you don’t need latest version. If libglib is 2.64… then u need libffi v2.something. Both should belong to v 2. Check this once if it works.

heloproc on Nov 6, 2023

@Kumataro

A1. I’m only using packages installed via apt/agt-get. This is a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04, and OpenCV is the first thing I’ve tried to build on it.

A2. From pkg-config, I’m using the following package version for gobject and ffi:

gobject-2.0 v2.64.6 libffi v3.3
