	Updating to a different release involves first updating the system, and then using the {{code\|system-upgrade}} command.		Updating to a different release involves first updating the system, and then using the {{code\|system-upgrade}} command. The Fedora documentation recommends not jumping multiple releases but rather upgrade to the next version sequentially (eg. 30 to 31 to 32, rather than 30 to 32) to avoid package dependency issues.

			=== Cuda 8.0 on Fedora 26 ===
			Cuda 8.0 seems to need GCC 5.3.1. The closest I can find is GCC 5.3.0 at https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-5.3.0/.

			You may need to apply this fix:
			https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=ec1cc0263f156f70693a62cf17b254a0029f4852

			Install any missing dependencies. These were missing on the existing Fedora 26 workstations in computer science:
			{{highlight\|lang=terminal\|code=
			libmpc-devel mpfr-devel
			}}

			Compile on the system:
			{{highlight\|lang=terminal\|code=
			# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-5.3.0 --disable-multilib
			# make -j 8
			}}
