hipBLAS compiled for CUDA cannot be found in CMake about hipblas HOT 4 CLOSED

@ckendrick Thank you for reporting this error and a special thanks for providing a workaround. We will reply to this issue when the workaround is implemented to fix the hipBLAS build on an NVIDIA machine with hip 4.5.

Hi @ckendrick,

I'm trying to reproduce the issue that you're seeing, and I was wondering if you could help. What are the exact steps did you took to install HIP 4.5 on your machine? Is ROCm installed as well?

Hi @daineAMD, thanks for your response! Here are the steps I took to install HIP 4.5 on my machine:

1. Install the CUDA Toolkit by following the steps under the ".deb (local)" option for Ubuntu 20.04.
2. Follow the Installation Guide to setup the ROCm repo:

wget -q -O - https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo 'deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/ ubuntu main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list
sudo apt-get update

3. HIP was installed with sudo apt install hip-dev hip-runtime-nvidia
4. Some tools seem to rely on /opt/rocm/, so I created a symbolic link from /opt/rocm-4.5.0/: sudo ln -s /opt/rocm-4.5.0/ /opt/rocm
5. /opt/rocm/bin/ was added to my path in ~/.bashrc: export PATH="/opt/rocm/bin/:$PATH"

The ROCm stack is not fully installed (amdgpu drivers, dkms modules, etc), but the above steps do result in the rocm-core package being installed. I think this is all that should be required based on reading the HIP installation for NVIDIA guide.

Let me know if you need any more information!

This should be resolved in #434 which will make it into a future release. Thank you @ckendrick for letting us know about this issue and having a fix ready.
