I'm trying to install CUDA on Ubuntu using this guide by @B0rk4:

How can I install CUDA 9 on Ubuntu 17.10

The relevant section is to create a symlink for gcc & g++:

sudo apt install gcc-6
sudo apt install g++-6
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-6 /usr/local/cuda/bin/gcc
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-6 /usr/local/cuda/bin/g++

When I follow these steps I get an error:

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/local/cuda/bin/g++': No such file or directory

How can I create these symlinks?

Thanks in advance - I would comment on the linked page, but I'd need 50 rep to do so.

  • If the target directory does not exist already, you may need to create it first: sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/cuda/bin – steeldriver Oct 26 '17 at 12:44
  • Thanks - I've done that for both gcc & g++ but the CUDA install still fails with an error: Toolkit: Installation Failed. Using unsupported Compiler. – Tony Merryfield Oct 26 '17 at 12:54
