Thank you for insight.
It was a Cuda problem eventually.
As you suggested installing Cuda-9.2 solved the issue.
I did try the suggested change (with cuda-9.1) in the cuda/../crt/host_config.h file (from >6 to something else like >8) but that created other compilation problems.
I havn't finished the (make test) yet but I got the files compiled now.
All the best,
Yazan

OK: I'm surprised that the package manager is doing that, since cuda9.1
is not compatible with gcc7. I've personally always used the nvidia
installers to add new versions of cuda to my machine.

You might raise this issue on Ubuntu forums. There are some possible
solutions here:

  https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1032269/cuda-setup-and-installation/cuda-9-gcc-7-compatibility-with-nvcc/post/5253058/

But also note that cuda-9.2 should be compatible with gcc7, so that
might be a better option.

...good luck...dac
