Hi,
My box has a single A100 installed using a Super Micro motherboard (Supermicro MBD-X13SEI-F-O ATX Server Motherboard) with 128GB memory.
Ubuntu 22.04 is installed.
I have been struggling to install the software necessary to run cuDNN on my A100, including CUDA 11.8, as recommended in the Nvidia documentation.
I am trying to install:
MLNX_OFED_LINUX-23.07-0.5.1.2-6.2.0-36-generic
using:
./mlnxofedinstall --add-kernel-support --kernel uname -r
After it fails, the log files show a failure building knem:
configure: overriding kernel source and build dirs with /lib/modules/6.2.0-36-generic/build

and later in this same log file found:

Hint: check if the library actually comes from a package.

dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2
I really do apologize, I am fairly new to Linux (but have been a senior professional developer on Windows for many years).
Any ideas on the best way forward?
I have gone through the documentation several times, installing, uninstalling, re-installing every package along the way, and would appreciate any guidance to help me past this blockage.
Many thanks in advance,
Brian
