Nvidia driver install on Power 8

I am trying to install nvidia drivers on Centos 7.5.1804 ppc64le. A Power 8 Minsky server from IBM.

It goes smoothly until it gets to the following…and then errors out.

Anyone have this trouble and find a way to make it work?

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

That helps install cuda, but I get the same libglvnd error and failure when trying to install the nvidia drivers.

As mentioned in tat thread, it’s currently not possible to install the driver using the rpm packages. If you installed cuda using the .run installer, it installed the driver alongside with cuda.

Install with NVIDIA network repo, not the local repo. It worked for me.
