On Ubuntu 16.04 with Quadro K1000M, I have installed the Nvidia GPU driver version 418.56 from Software & Updates->Additional Driver. When I check nvidia-smi it shows
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| NVIDIA-SMI 418.56 Driver Version: 418.56 CUDA Version: 10.1 |
|-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
which clearly shows the CUDA version 10.1. However, when I check nvcc --version, the terminal shows
The program 'nvcc' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit
which seems to suggest the CUDA compiler is missing. Meanwhile, there is no CUDA directory, such as cuda-10-0 or something similar, created inside /usr/local. If I simply follow sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit, would I get the older version such 7.5? Ran this command before, but I actually got an old version 7.5, instead of 10.
Also downloaded the specific version of the toolkit from http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads and installed manually by running
sudo sh cuda_10.2.89_440.33.01_linux.run
it complained
Existing package manager installation of the driver found. It is strongly recommended that you remove this before continuing
Then I found this on how to remove the older version of CUDA. First of all, I don't have any directory such as /usr/local/cuda-5.0 or alike. Second, if I follow the advanced step suggested in the post then rerun sudo sh cuda_10.2.89_440.33.01_linux.run, it complains that there is no driver installed.
Now I don't know what am I supposed to do. Help will be highly appriated.
Note
The gcc version is 5.4 on my system.
