The ELRepo drivers are just the drivers, not the SDK.  That said, my
experience is they're packaged much better than the ones nVidia releases as
part of the CUDA repo.

The approach I've gone with is to use ELRepo for the drivers, and then use
environment modules to provide the CUDA SDK to users.  That for me offers
little downsides.  You easily get to provide multiple releases of the SDK
for
users, and you get to use the best packaged drivers.

Mark why are you so determined to take the most difficult, fragile and high
maintenance route?

Just use the Negativo Nvidia repo which includes CUDA etc

Sorry, I did, of course, mean elrepo, not epel.

I suppose the epel kmod-nvidia might count - it will allow CUDA apps to
run but you can't develop with it.

I use the nVidia repo for CUDA. It seems to work OK and you don't need
to compile anything as far as I can see. Sorry if you already know
this, but you can get it from 

 
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux_arch=x86_64_distro=CentOS_version=7_type=rpmnetwork

sorry for the long URL - if you want go to 

  https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

and click through the selections. Ultimately you just do a 'yum install
cuda' and it installs everything you need for a CUDA development
environment including the kernel drivers - and it's kept up to date.

Documentation on it is at 

  
http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html#package-manager-installation

Please don't top post.

Why, is there some other? I did try, last week, and went through one
failure after another. Actually, my user's testing now with kmod-nvidia.
If that doesn't work, I'm back to square one: uninstall everything, then
start with CUDA, rather than the proprietary driver. If that doesn't work,
uninstall CUDA, then try the most-current proprietary driver (The last
try wouldn't build, because of the lack of .../include/linux/fence.h.)

Are you installing CUDA from official NVidia repository?
