Hello,

Apologies for the issues, I now have PyFR compiled but encountering problems during run with the CUDA backend. The log is attached below, but it appears there is some undefined symbol with the libnvrtc.so driver. Looking for some diagnostic guidance and if this might be related to incorrectly compiled CUDA version?

Thanks again!

nvcc version:

```auto
(pyfr1.15-venv) [roya3@gra-login3 2d-inc-cylinder]$ nvcc --version
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2023 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Tue_Aug_15_22:02:13_PDT_2023
Cuda compilation tools, release 12.2, V12.2.140
Build cuda_12.2.r12.2/compiler.33191640_0

```

Error ouput along with nvidia-smi:

It looks like Conda is trying to use Cuda 11.0.2. You should try updating the path/dependencies used by Conda.

You’re absolutely right, looks like the system was pulling in correct PATH variables for the /bin locations but incorrect LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH variables from previous module load for the /lib locations.

Works well now after resetting the env variables, thank you!
