How did you install Cuda5? What did you install and how?

I have one OpenSuSE 12.1 box that works as a cluster head
and serves to gpu-clusters. Every software except the
nvidia gpu driver is installed on this box for usage by
the nodes.

Installing a gpu-ready OpenSuSE 12.1 involves (for example, YMMD)
  * add community- and extra-repositories through yast/repositories,
    these involve (here):
    (a) included in yast/repositories (activate only)
     Packman Repository
     openSUSE BuildService - devel:languages:perl
     openSUSE BuildService - devel:languages:python
     Education
     science
    (b) extra (add manually or ba script)
     devel:/tools
     devel:/libraries:/c_c++
     devel:/gcc
    you can do the latter by script:
      #
      #!/bin/sh
 
Uri[1]="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools/openSUSE_12.1/" 
            Name[1]="devel:/tools"
 
Uri[2]="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/libraries:/c_c++/openSUSE_12.1/" 
Name[2]="devel:/libraries:/c_c++"
 
Uri[3]="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/gcc/openSUSE_12.1/" 
              Name[3]="devel:/gcc"
      #
      for i in 1 2 3; do
         zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys ar ${Uri[i]} ${Name[i]}
         zypper modifyrepo --refresh ${Name[i]}
      done
      #

  * install gcc 4.6 / g++ 4.6 through yast
  * install fftw 3.3.3 through yast, look for the following packages:
    gpuclu:~ # rpm -qa |grep fftw
             libfftw3-3-3.3.3-5.1.x86_64
             fftw3-devel-3.3.3-5.1.x86_64
             fftw3-3.3-18.1.3.x86_64
             fftw3-threads-3.3-18.1.3.x86_64
             fftw3-threads-devel-3.3.3-5.1.x86_64
             libfftw3_threads3-3.3.3-5.1.x86_64
  * install blas-devel, lapack-devel, gsl-devel through yast
  * Important: remove everything Nvidia-related stuff through yast, reboot
  * download and install (compile) the gpu driver
    NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.32.run
    check if it functions properly (after reboot)
  * download and install CUDA from Nvidia:
    cuda_5.0.35_linux_64_suse12.1-1.run

if everything works, the command
   nvidia-smi
should display some meaningful output.
