Hey, I want to install from source on a Linux machine with a Quadro K4000 GPU and Cuda 9.2 in a conda environment. I followed these instructions 7, however, in the last step python setup.py install I get many error messages of this type:

error: #error – unsupported GNU version! gcc versions later than 7 are not supported!
#error – unsupported GNU version! gcc versions later than 7 are not supported!

gcc --version shows that I have version 8.3.0. I found similar problems here, but the suggested solutions require admin rights, which I don’t have. I was hoping to install an older gcc version via conda (from here on I’m on really thin ice and don’t really know what I am doing). I am not sure which one to use, so I randomly chose conda install -c rgrout gcc_linux-64. At least the results of $CC --version is promising: x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-cc (crosstool-NG fa8859cb) 6.4.0
To my understanding, I would need to tell the cmake to use ‘my’ gcc via $CC instead of the system one. Is this a promising approach? And how would I do this step? Thanks
EDIT: I tried conda install gcc_linux-64=5.4.0 now and then followed the instructions 7 without explicitly specifying to use the conda gcc. I get this:
The C++ compiler

    "/my_home_path/anaconda3/envs/pt/bin/x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-cc"

  is not able to compile a simple test program.

  It fails with the following output:
