I try to install CUDA Toolkit 8 RC on my Ubuntu 16.04 computer, I also installed GCC 4.9.4 on my computer. I use update-alternatives command to make GCC 4.9.4 as default compiler for whenever I install CUDA Toolkit 8 RC, GCC 5.4 will be installed together.
I have check
gcc -v
to see my gcc compiler version, it is 4.9.4. But I still get the error:
unsupported GNU version! gcc version later than 5.3 are not supported.
I also tried the method of changing the /usr/bin/gcc link to GCC 4.9.4 compiler, it still doesn’t work.
When i try to uninstall gcc5 by using
sudo apt purge gcc5
, CUDA ToolKit 8 RC will be uninstalled together.
Is there any pro can help me solve the problem? Thanks.
