[llvm-dev] NVPTX compilation problems - ptxas error

[Madhur Amilkanthwar via llvm-dev]

Yes as pranav pointed this issue is with your installation. Point to
correct ptxas binary and it should just compile because the error clearly
indicates that the generated ptx has newer version but binary is old. Try
'which ptxas', it may help.
