What recommended CUDA, CUDNN, GCC versions?

[hana9090]

I want to make the faster rcnn, I have a VM with UBUNTU 17.10 64bit.
I install CUDA8 and CuDNN 6 then CUDNN 5.
However, when I want to build the lib folder in faster project, I got this

error: /usr/local/cuda/include/host_config.h:119:2: error: #error --
unsupported GNU version! gcc versions later than 5 are not supported!

#error -- unsupported GNU version! gcc versions later than 5 are not supported! ^~~~~ error: command '/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc' failed

with exit status 1

Although the default gcc version is:

$ gcc --version

gcc-5 (Ubuntu 5.5.0-1ubuntu2) 5.4.1 20171010

This is to verify the CudNN version is 5:

$ cat /usr/local/cuda/include/cudnn.h | grep CUDNN_MAJOR -A 2
#define CUDNN_MAJOR      5
#define CUDNN_MINOR      1
#define CUDNN_PATCHLEVEL 10
--
#define CUDNN_VERSION    (CUDNN_MAJOR * 1000 + CUDNN_MINOR * 100 + CUDNN_PATCHLEVEL)

#include "driver_types.h"

CUDA version:

 $ nvcc --version
    nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
    Copyright (c) 2005-2016 NVIDIA Corporation
    Built on Tue_Jan_10_13:22:03_CST_2017
    Cuda compilation tools, release 8.0, V8.0.61

I tried some suggestion to install gcc 4.9 but it can't be downloaded!

$ sudo apt install gcc-4.9 g++-4.9

Package g++-4.9 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'gcc-4.9' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'g++-4.9' has no installation candidate

Have you successfully build your caffe?
Check out the Makefile.config by rbg - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/6joa55k64xo2h68/Makefile.config?dl=0.
He used gcc-4.7.

For cudnn and cuda, check here #237
