I think the second one might be a typo (libnvidia instead of libnivia).
I find the following libnvidia-gl* libraries on my system:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Mar 27 10:00 /usr/lib64/libnvidia-glcore.so ->
libnvidia-glcore.so.440.59
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28661160 Mar 27 10:00 /usr/lib64/libnvidia-glcore.so.
440.59
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Mar 27 10:00 /usr/lib64/libnvidia-glsi.so ->
libnvidia-glsi.so.440.59
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 687304 Mar 27 10:00 /usr/lib64/libnvidia-glsi.so.
440.59
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Mar 27 10:00 /usr/lib64/libnvidia-glvkspirv.so
-> libnvidia-glvkspirv.so.440.59
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11114264 Mar 27 10:00 /usr/lib64/libnvidia-
glvkspirv.so.440.59
(Eg: libnvidia-glcore, libnvidia-glsi, libnvidia-glvkspirv)
but not "libnvidia-compute"
I do find "libnvidia-compiler"
Might it be part of one of the nvidia toolkits?
