Cuda 5.5 on OpenSUSE 13.1

Seems to work OK. Although it is not supported officially. The default compiler in OpenSuSE is gcc-4.8.1

All you have to do is:

1) install NVIDIA drivers (from a repository via YaST or manually from .run file)
2) download CUDA v5.5 as "run" file, not as "rpm".
3) run installer as

./cuda_5.5.22_linux_64.bin -toolkit -samples -override

no additional fixes needed, samples compile and run just fine. Have Fun!
