Have you actually succeeded yet in building a pip package linked with CUDA 8? I am doing basically the same process, and it only keeps failing.

The pip package doesn't build for me either. And I even reinstalled Ubuntu to get a fresh Python installation

So strange I wonder why its working for me? Ubuntu 16.04.1? Fresh install? following exactly? Python 3?

Which branch are you building?

For the first time I was able to complete a build last night, Ubuntu 16.04, CUDA 8.0 RC + compiler patch, cuDNN 5.1, nvidia-driver-370, python-2.7, and compute capability 6.1 (for Pascal GPU) - but only when I switched to the r0.10 branch.

With r0.10 I see none of the multiple failure modes that I always see with master. It just went straight ahead and compiled the whole thing.

I used master but seems like r.0.10 seems to be solving the problem for most.

fwiw: twice now, I've successfully gotten a pip package linked with CUDA 8 & built Tensorflow from source — once for Python 2 and another for Python 3. Both on an Ubuntu 14.04 system
