Hello. I am trying to use a scientific tool using python and requiring NVIDIA CUDA to run it. I tried to open it in Anaconda Spyder for a test, but I got:

CompileError: nvcc preprocessing of C:\Users\Public\Documents\ESTsoft\CreatorTemp\tmpl_hj63ke.cu failed

So I guess the environmental variables are the problem, and checked, and:

User variable for lipued
TEMP: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp
TMP: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp

System variable

TEMP: %SystemRoot%\TEMP
TMP: %SystemRoot%\TEMP
TMPDIR: C:\Users\Public\Documents\ESTsoft\CreatorTemp

I do not know why TMPDIR variable went there, but I guess I need to set it to the default, or somewhere related to NDIVIA CUDA. Can you let me know where is the default value for TMPDIR? Thanks.

    By default TMPDIR does not exist. Some other process has created this.
