I’m trying to use julia in an HPC environment. I load the CUDA driver using slurm’s “module” functionality. I can see where it is in the $PATH variable. But when I go to run “pkg\> test CUDA” I get warnings saying “This version of CUDA.jl only supports NVIDIA drivers for CUDA 10.2 or higher (yours is for CUDA 9.2.0)” but nvcc --version is showing version 10.2 is loaded.

Why isn’t julia detecting this path? Am I bungling something?
