Assuming your CUDA 7.0 top-level installation exists at /Developer/NVIDIA/CUDA-7.0, the following commands inside an xterm window should work: $ cp cufft_patch_mac.tar.gz ~ $ cd /Developer/NVIDIA/CUDA-7.0 $ sudo tar zxvf ~/cufft_patch_mac.tar.gz This will update the cufft libraries inside /Developer/NVIDIA/CUDA-7.0/lib
