Hi,
on one of our Linux-Boxes (CentOS 7.1611, Quadro M4000, NVIDIA driver 375.66) I installed cuda 8.0.61 and compiled the samples. When I try to run one of the samples (e.g. “deviceQuery”) I invariably get the Output:
./deviceQuery Starting…
CUDA Device Query (Runtime API) version (CUDART static linking)
cudaGetDeviceCount returned 35
→ CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version
Result = FAIL
I am sure that half a year ago with cuda 8.0.44 and NVIDIA driver 375.26 the same program ran OK?
What did I miss?
your driver is not installed correctly, or else the driver that is installed is too old
you can figure out more by running
nvidia-smi

The driver installed is the latest I could get on the NVIDIA pages.
so your driver is not installed correctly
my guess would be a mixture of (previously) runfile install combined with package manager install, or vice versa, but there’s not enough info here to diagnose exactly.
My suggestion would be to follow the instructions in the linux install guide to clean out all old installs, then reinstall cuda 8.0.61. Before or after that, you can install 375.66, but make sure to use the same method as the CUDA install.
The first step may be to get familiar with the linux install guide.
