Description

Hi,

I am using anaconda on linux, I have been previously using arrayfire on windows fine. I installed latest arrayfire on the Linux OS.. The error was

```
ERROR:root:Traceback (most recent call last):

```
After spending a day trying to think as to what the problem could be, I discovered that the problem is due to conflict with the install of pycuda, as soon as I removed pycuda, the arrayfire tests passed. The different version of pycuda give the same error.

Now I solved the issue by installing pycuda in a separate folder and adding that to the PYTHONPATH instead of the default in anaconda.
