The official driver has been installed many times before. Every time this error occurs, it must be installed this time. So I went crazy about searching for information online. The installation was successful.

First, check the kernel version:
Uname-R
2.6.18-164.11.1.el5xen
It turns out to be the xen kernel, which cannot be installed with the NVIDIA Driver (as mentioned on the Internet)
Yum install kernel-devel
Reboot
Select the kernel to start when starting the instance.

Init 3
Go to the command interface and run cd to the directory where the installation package is located:
Sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run
All the way to yes, haha, finally installed successfully!

If the "GCC" error is displayed in the error message, it should be because your GCC has not been installed.
Yum install gcc
