[OMPI users] hwloc: Topology became empty, aborting!

[Max R. Dechantsreiter via users]

On a VPS I tested my build of hwloc-2.9.2 by running lstopo:

./lstopo
hwloc: Topology became empty, aborting!
Segmentation fault

On a GCP n1-standard-2 a similar build (GCC 12.2 vs. 13.2) seemed to work:

./lstopo
hwloc/nvml: Failed to initialize with nvmlInit(): Driver Not Loaded

What steps should I take to find the cause of the failure on the VPS?
I suspect an OS issue because in the past my builds of OpenMPI worked.
