`cuda.cudart.getLocalRuntimeVersion()` raises `RuntimeError: Failed to dlopen libcudart.so.12`
Is this a bug? getLocalRuntimeVersion() fails for me in cuda 11.8 environment. I'm asking because I see that the API call is in the cuda-python 11.8 release notes.
In the source code, we're hard coding libcudart.so.12. Is that right?

It seems to be a backport mistake that we should fix: https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-python/blob/64cc9ae081ba405972b0472cd1fd35b919c455fc/cuda/_lib/ccudart/ccudart.pyx.in#L2451-L2457 @Matt711 how urgent is this?
@Matt711 how urgent is this?
Not urgent. We already have a workaround using numba.cuda. I also don't mind working on this @leofang, if you could point me in the right direction.
Thanks, @Matt711. The offending code that I linked to above is from the 11.8.x branch, so ideally we can just fix the lines referencing libcudart.so.12 to .11. But we're transitioning to a new development/release process so let me check with @vzhurba01 later today first, and get back to you later.
@Matt711 we discussed and will try to get a new 11.8.x release out next week, with this bug fixed and perhaps also #75 backported.
Not yet. The wheels and conda packages are currently going through pre-release validation. I'll update this issue once posting is complete.
FYI I've updated the repo with the fix under the patch release 11.8.4 (tag v11.8.4).
I created new issue #139 to track the wheels/conda uploads for this patch release. I'm thinking of keeping this current issue open though until they are uploaded, and then give a notice before closing.

Issue #139 is now complete as both PYPI and Conda (nvidia channel) are now updated with the 11.8.4 patch. Thank you all for your patience.
