Hi Fatima,
Did you download the correct version for your operating system? Redhat 7 and Centos 7 are GCC 4.8.2-16 and I've had CUDA 5.0 working fine with that. Note, you don't have to use CUDA 5.0 - v6.5 is fine if that's easier - you just lose about 5 to 7% or so in performance but it's probably not worth the hassle if it is a pain to use the older version of CUDA.
Note, I'd be very wary of bleeding edge compiler versions like GCC 4.9.1 - we've seen issues with it incorrectly compiling code (ends up giving the wrong answer) on OSX. This is why the Exxact machines are still using 4.4.7 - it's bullet proof. The 4.9 issue may just be restricted to OSX - these are the only machines I have that have the latest compilers (I tend to stick to RHEL or CENTOS for stability). I'd recommend running the test cases - particularly the serial and parallel CPU test cases and make sure they all come out good before trying GPU here. The issue on OSX with GCC 4.9 is with the CPU PMEMD TI code.
All the best
Ross
