This is easy to figure out if you have a NVIDIA card or not.

Any NVIDIA or CUDA related questions are best asked in areas[1] where NVIDIA
will see them. No one on this list can help you fix the errors.

It is the libcuda.so.3 that is not present
That is what the Seti optimized applications are looking for.

Yes, I have contacted NVIDIA but to no avail as fedora 14 is supposed to be
supported
I have installed the Cuda toolkit 3.2 and the problem is still there,
crashing workunits and no Cuda assist on video conversion
The latest Handbrake svn for fedora 12 worked with the cuda 2.2 libs but not
so with F14
