Error when building library

[Deepak Kadetotad]

I followed the suggestion of removing line 789 from src/detail/rnn/recurrent_ops.cu which solved the scratchDimension error but I ran into another error after

The issue here is that you are trying to install to /usr/local, but you don't have permission (presumably /usr/local is owned by root on your system). You can resolve this in multiple ways:

You can specify the install_path yourself.

scons install_path=/my/installation/path

You can try one of the existing environment files that should point the installation target at a local directory './build_local'.

source osx.sh
scons install=true

You can change the permissions of /usr/local/ or install the library as root (NOT RECOMMENDED).

sudo scons install=true

I'll update the documentation with these options.

Thank you Greg.
