Hello,
I use the installation with the runfile.
I try to install cuda_12.6.2_560.35.03 on a linux cluster running rhel 8 in a non standard location, (/opt/…) that belongs to me. This location is available for all computing nodes.
The command is :
$ ./cuda_12.6.2_560.35.03_linux.run --driver --toolkit --toolkitpath=/opt/software/cuda_12.6.2_560.35.03 --defaultroot=/opt/software/cuda_12.6.2_560.35.03
I accept the EULA
I check the different options for the driver and the toolkit.
I unselect the creation of symbolic links, the installation of some parts of the software in system’s locations like /usr/share/man, the creation of desktop menu shortcuts, etc …
If I look at the log file, I get :
cat /tmp/cuda-installer.log

[ERROR]: Install of Driver failed, quitting
=> I have seen nowhere anything related to “/usr/share/applications” that I can unselect.
=> Is it possible to get more informations about what produces the error message : “Driver installation must be run as root.” ?
thank you.
