OSError: libcudnn.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This error message indicates that the program you are trying to run cannot find the file "libcudnn.so.8" in its expected location. This file is a library required for running deep learning applications on NVIDIA GPUs.

To resolve this error, you can try the following steps:

1. Make sure you have installed the latest version of CUDA and cuDNN on your system. You can download these tools from the NVIDIA website.

2. Check if the "libcudnn.so.8" file is present in the expected location. The default location is usually "/usr/local/cuda/lib64/". If the file is not present, you may need to reinstall cuDNN.

3. If the file is present but the program still cannot find it, you may need to add the path to the file to your system's LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. You can do this by adding the following line to your ~/.bashrc file:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

4. After making any changes to your environment variables, remember to source your ~/.bashrc file or restart your terminal session for the changes to take effect.

If none of these steps work, you may need to consult the documentation or support forums for the specific program you are trying to run.
