Description

I was trying to build mxnet from source and my computer's spec is this:
Ubuntu 18.04
Cuda9.0 = V9.0.176
g++-6
gcc-6

To Reproduce

clone the repository and make som changes to the lines in make/config.mk file.
export CC = gcc-6
export CXX = g++-6
export NVCC = nvcc
run make clean && make

Steps to reproduce

(Paste the commands you ran that produced the error.)

1. cd to the incubator-mxnet director
2. make some changes to the lines in make/config.mk file
   export CC = gcc-6
export CXX = g++-6
export NVCC = nvcc
3. run make clean && make

What have you tried to solve it?

1. change the line ADD_CFLAGS = -fpermissive
2. run the make clean && make again but having the same error

Appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

Which version of mxnet are you building? If it's a recent version, you can try to use the cmake build instead
