[gmx-users] Installation with CUDA on Debian / gcc 6+

[Jochen Hub]

Hi Åke,

ah, thanks, we had indeed a CUDA 8.0 on our Debian. So we'll try to 
install CUA 10.1.

But as a side question: Doesn't the supported gcc version strongly 
depend on the Linux distribution, see here:

https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html

Thanks,
Jochen
