problems with installation tensorflow from source on ubuntu 16 with gpu

Question

I have ubuntu 16.04 I have installed CUDA 7.5 from Ubuntu repo and cuDNN 5.1.3 for CUDA 7.5 and ran CUDA examples that works, same for pycuda and I want to install tensorflow from source with gpu support, tensorflow configuration is stuck on nvvm, and I can't find it in system also find isn't any helpful

$ find / -name nvvm*
/usr/include/nvvm.h
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-cuda-doc/html/nvvm-ir-spec

where can I find nvvm?

Answer 1

Your find command is wrong. You need to quote the -name argument to prevent shell globbing:

$ find / -name 'nvvm*'
