I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 and am trying to build TensorFlow with GPU support from source according to this. Everything works fine until the "Build TensorFlow" step, in which I execute:
bazel build -c opt --config=cuda //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
The compilation hits an error with output:
ERROR: /home/thomas/tensorflow/tensorflow/core/BUILD:978:28: Executing genrule //tensorflow/core:proto_text_srcs_all failed: bash failed: error executing command /bin/bash -c ... (remaining 1 argument(s) skipped): com.google.devtools.build.lib.shell.BadExitStatusException: Process exited with status 1.

Target //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package failed to build
Use --verbose_failures to see the command lines of failed build steps.
My suspicion is that the error has something to do with anaconda since bazel seems to be looking for libstdc++.so from within ~/anaconda2/lib.
