So, kmod-nvidia installed. Trouble is, I have no tool to test it. And my user might need nvcc, which, of course, is only provided by the NVidia CUDA, which won't install, because it conflicts with kmod-nvidia.
Has *anyone* dealt with this? If so, what was your solution?
Are you installing CUDA from official NVidia repository?
Please don't top post.
Why, is there some other?
I suppose the epel kmod-nvidia might count - it will allow CUDA apps to run but you can't develop with it.
I did try, last week, and went through one failure after another. Actually, my user's testing now with kmod-nvidia. If that doesn't work, I'm back to square one: uninstall everything, then start with CUDA, rather than the proprietary driver. If that doesn't work, uninstall CUDA, then try the most-current proprietary driver.... (The last try wouldn't build, because of the lack of .../include/linux/fence.h.)
I use the nVidia repo for CUDA. It seems to work OK and you don't need to compile anything as far as I can see. Sorry if you already know this, but you can get it from
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=...
sorry for the long URL - if you want go to
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
and click through the selections. Ultimately you just do a 'yum install cuda' and it installs everything you need for a CUDA development environment including the kernel drivers - and it's kept up to date.
Documentation on it is at
