Hi Alexander, thanks for the tip! This does seem to get me closer to solving the problem. At least I now see activity on the GPU. Where could I have come across this explanation and the hint that --disable-multilib will result in an incomplete build? We did configure with that switch (as we always do) and I was struggling for a while to get it working without (building with 32-bit support doesn't work, so eventually I've tried with --with-multilib-list=m64 instead - not sure this breaks things again). For a somewhat longer example, even when compiled with -foffload=-lgfortran I now get unresolved symbol _gfortran_os_error collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status I suspect this is a similar problem? Thanks!
