Installing nVidia drivers fails on Fedora 27

The make install has a nice text-based GUI but unfortunately fails. I have installed a couple of identified dependencies, gcc and one of the elf libraries, and am now stuck with the following in /var/log/nvidia-installer.log:

I would insert the log here for readability in the question but, this MD implementation does not support the three back-tick method. Instead, Link to log.

The driver I downloaded in this one, the download link in above:

Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver

Version: 340.106
Release Date: 2018.1.16
Operating System: Linux 64-bit
Language: English (US)
File Size: 66.75 MB
