CUDA on Fedora 17

Finally have CUDA toolkit running on my Fedora 17 box.

Download Dev driver, Toolkit and SDK from http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-downloads
Additional instructions are here http://www.r-tutor.com/gpu-computing/cuda-installation/cuda4.2-fc14
Tried to compile example from SDK - got gcc version incompatibility. Workaround is found here http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cuda#Fedora_17 :

Some compatibility problems appeared with gcc-4.7. You will have to install a compatibility version:

su -c 'yum install compat-gcc-34 compat-gcc-34-c++'

Create a symbolic link to make Cuda point to gcc-3.4:

su -c 'ln -s /usr/bin/gcc34 /opt/cuda/bin/gcc'

 Build shared libraries in ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/shared
Build ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/src/deviceQuery and run it in ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/bin/linux/release/deviceQuery
Finally got deviceQuery.txt with:

./deviceQuery Starting...
