18.10 CE MacOS installation fails

When I try to install the latest 18.10CE package on HighSierra, it fails while “validating”. The message in /var/log/install.log file is:

““nvvpâ€� couldn’t be moved to “libnvvpâ€� because an item with the same name already exists.”

Do you already have the cuda toolkit installed on your machine? I’m not aware of any conflicts on macOS. Any chance you could post the full install log? Are there other conflicts or just nvvp?

/var/log$ cat install.log

Did you have a previous installation of PGI at the same location? I.e. does /opt/pgi/osx86-64/2018/cuda already exist? I’m not aware of any installation issues, but you can probably move anything in that directory out to a different temporary location and let the installer copy over the files.

The same DMG (PKG) installs just fine on my ElCapitan laptop. Other install failure probably not the MacOS version but previous existing PGI and/or Cuda installations as you suggested.
