Which OS are you using?

• OS: Kali Linux
• NVIDIA P40 GPU with drivers installed

Could not load library libcudnn_ops_infer.so.8. Error: libcudnn_ops_infer.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. But it is at home/a/Downloads/Whisper-WebUI/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/torch/lib/libcudnn_ops_infer.so.8
The model is loaded, but then the error occurs and the model unloads:

I've tried export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/a/Downloads/Whisper-WebUI/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/torch/lib with no luck.

First get into venv then add the .so to path worked.

Hi, as export is not permanent, so I wanna share my setup. First, find libcudnn_ops_infer.so.8:

find / -name libcudnn_ops_infer.so.8

For example, my libcudnn_ops_infer.so.8 is in /etc/whisper/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/nvidia/cudnn/lib, so I added this environment value to the systemd service file:

[Unit]
Description=Whisper
Documentation=https://github.com/jhj0517/Whisper-WebUI
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/etc/whisper/venv/bin/python3 /etc/whisper/app.py --server_name 0.0.0.0
Environment="LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/etc/whisper/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/nvidia/cudnn/lib"
WorkingDirectory=/etc/whisper
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Now it works perfectly fine :)
