It's probably nvcc --version not nvcc--version
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

I tried that too, but obviously I did like nvcc--version before and it worked!

Have you added the cuda bin directory (usually /usr/local/cuda-VERSIONNUMBER/bin) to your path?

I really really doubt if 'nvcc--version' ever worked since there is no space between the command name and its arguments. Running yum provides '*/nvcc' shows that the file exists in at least the nux-dextop version of the cuda package. I don't have your 8.x version installed so cannot check that.

Yep I have
export PATH="/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH" in my .bashrc file

Like I mentioned in the first post, nvcc--version gave me the output I posted. I tried both in any case, and neither one works.
