    Status: Open => Answered

Robert Caulk proposed the following answer:
Hey,

Have you tried downloading the versions of CUDA and suitesparse
mentioned in [1]?

Notably:

Suite-sparse 4.6.0-beta
CUDA 9.0
Nvidia 384.11 GPU drivers

In the CUDA install you will find the samples folder indicated in [2].

Your question:
 
>> Question: Is extracting to usr/local mandatory?

No it is in-fact not mandatory. Try extracting to your /home/ folder
instead.

>>  the paths are blank for CUDART_LIB= and CUBLAS_LIB= which is not a
good sign

Yes, it is not a good sign. But you should be able to navigate and find
these libraries manually inside the cuda-9.0/lib64 folder (please verify
that they do exist ). Then you can put that path in
SuiteSparse_config.mk directly.

Please keep me updated.

Cheers,

Robert
