Hi,
I am trying to set up a Tesla K40c on Ubuntu (4.4.0-34-generic), but the driver installer NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-352.99.run recommended by the nvidia website for this configuration dies as follows. Running ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-352.99.run with sudo produces the log file:

The kernel header and source files are installed (using apt-get) and the kernel header file exists as:
/lib/modules/4.4.0-34-generic/build/include/linux/kernel.h
Running the installer again with:
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-352.99.run --kernel-source-path=/lib/modules/4.4.0-34-generic/build/include
produces log file:

ERROR: The kernel header file ‘/lib/modules/4.4.0-34-generic/build/include/include/linux/kernel.h’ does not exist.

The driver installer seems to be having trouble with the kernel source files’ path. Even when explicitly running:
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-352.99.run --kernel-source-path=/lib/modules/4.4.0-34-generic/build
for which the installer should, based on the second log output, search for and find /lib/modules/4.4.0-34-generic/build/include/linux/kernel.h, the installer dies with the following (same terminating error as the initial run):

Any help is greatly appreciated.
