I’m trying to install CUDA 6.0 using the RPM on Fedora 19. I ran into some problems that I’m trying to solve.
- First I downloaded this from the download page:
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/fedora19/x86_64/cuda-repo-fedora19-6.0-37.x86_64.rpm
I have no idea what checksum to expect since unlike the checksum for the .run file, the checksum for the RPM doesn’t seem to be listed on the website. Anyway, the md5sum and sha256sum of the file I downloaded are respectively 58c327682ff19470dcb21136804d0e34 and c254e8f4ea104c3a40236b0451776c48a66b17d34290719f8367d18c5fd39320.
Well, I “yum localinstall” the RPM anyway, and then “yum install cuda”, upon which I noticed that:
-
The “cuda” package depends on the “cuda-5-5” package, which is odd since this is supposed to be CUDA 6.
-
I got this error:

Fine, I try disabling the rpmfusion repo:
yum install cuda --disablerepo=rpmfusion*
Then I got these errors:

So, how should I proceed? Just use the RUN file? It’s not an RPM, so given the results I’ve been having with the RPM, I’m afraid that if the RUN installation fails, it will leave a big mess on my machine.
