Wrongful error on version mismatch - gcc 11.4.0 kernel nvidia-cuda-515

There was an update in my Ubuntu 22.04.03 LTS OS last week, and my nvidia-515 with cuda 11.7 broke. On reinstalling, it fails. I'm stuck, tried to debug and inspect logs - which points to version mismatch, but the versions are indeed the same 11.4.0.

Is it the name that needs some change. Forcing alias of cc and gcc to x86_64 also hasn't change anything. Tried multiple iterations with reboots after each attempt, to no avail. Sadly using "apt install nvidia-driver-515" is not an option because it install 525 due to its transition. Have a hard need for driver-515 with cuda 11.7.

$ sudo ./cuda_11.7.0_515.43.04_linux.run

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
