Note, this will make archdetect fail if nvidia-smi has a driver/library mismatch. This will have consequences for loading the EESSI module as it will now fail if there's a driver/library mismatch, even if the user loading the EESSI module has no intention of using the GPUs. This may not be ideal. |

Looks good overall. Minor suggestion on improving the information for a user.

Thanks for this PR @terjekv !
We discussed this at a support meeting and suggest the following:
- print the unaltered error message (e.g., just
cat $nvidia_smi_out) - print a hint how this could be fixed (you mentioned that you fixed this)
Does this sound ok?

I ran into this as one of our build nodes had the driver mismatch:
Sadly, this resulted in
eessi_archdetect.shsettingEESSI_ACCEL_SUBDIRto an empty value, which again caused building CUDA software withEESSI-extendto fail with:
