@maleadt, FYI, I didn’t have to go through these steps for CUDA.jl 4.0.1 on Julia 1.8: CUDA.jl was able to autodetect whatever artifacts it needed. The described problem started happening only after I started using Julia 1.9 rc: when I added CUDA.jl, it could not find an appropriate CUDA runtime.
Do you think installing an up-to-date CUDA driver would solve the issue? As I added above, the CUDA driver (runtime?) version on our system is certainly outdated (11.6 compared to the most recent 12.1).
