sigh. I hope one day Linux can be rewritten in something with more sensible package management. C/C++ can just be a real pain more often that not. My case was trying to install CUDA on ubuntu 16 following the OFFICIAL developer guide. gave up after trying for an hour. It needed the kernel headers for compile the drivers and it was jsut alot of pain dealing with files being in the wrong place and gcc version mismatching and tons of other cryptic errors. and this is for ubuntu which is a pretty mainstream distro.

    @runfrodorun You've never been in a possition where you can't yum/apt-get install the stuff, and its on you to make sure all the dependencies are setup so you can run a buildscript that couldnt be bothered todo all that for you?

    @runfrodorun why do I need to search for dependencies and reconcile versions manual before I can run make? It wastes hours and days. Even npm and pip offer a way better experience

    maybe if you want to play with custom built stuff, switch Ubuntu for Archlinux or Gentoo?

    @windlessuser No offense to you but I giggled when I saw you telling @runfrodorun was wrong as I knew he works on kernels himself 😆
