1 week ago Hi @huccpp, I believe your current installation at /opt/nvidia is due to cuda being installed from the Ubuntu repositories. If you install the toolkit from the official website, the installation should be done under /usr/local.

1 week ago Hello @harkgill-amd, Thanks for your reply. Earlier I installed the nvidia hpc sdk from https://developer.nvidia.com/hpc-sdk-downloads which includes things in cuda toolkits, but inside /opt/nvidia/ . The problem is that I wonder whether it is possible to install HIP without installing cuda toolkits as its contents are already in my nvidia hpc sdk installation (also to avoid possible conflicts). Thanks. huccpp

1 week ago I know of users working around the official cuda toolkit dependency by adding a | nvidia-cuda-toolkit (>= 7.5) in the hip-runtime-nvidia .deb file, see https://github.com/ROCm/HIP/issues/820#issuecomment-910063554. Please note that this is not officially supported and may cause errors for dependencies that look for the cuda installation at /usr/local/cuda.
Not sure if the installation from the HPC SDK link satisfies either of these package requirements but it would be worth giving a try. If you could also share any errors encountered during the installation, that would be helpful in further investigating.
EDIT: You can also set the default CUDA installation path with the CUDA_PATH environment variable (ref).
I try to install HIP to run on nvidia gpu. I looked at the instruction here: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/latest/install/install.html I am on ubuntu 20.04. Earlier I have installed nvidia hpc sdk, but the path of cuda it contains is not at /usr/local/cuda as written (it is at /opt/nvidia/.../cuda). How to specify the path for the apt install? And in this case, do I need to do the step sudo apt-get install ubuntu-drivers-common && sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall sudo reboot ? Thanks a lot.
