title: Tensorflow installation error - (directory not empty)
body: <p>I'm trying to install tensorflow 0.11.0 by running </p>
  
  <pre><code>./configure
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm getting an error saying :</p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR: /home/abc/.cache/bazel/_bazel_abc/235fe154e0/server (Directory not empty).
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm not sure if they are related, but before the error message, I also get a warning saying:</p>
  
  <pre><code>WARNING: Output base '/home/abc/.cache/bazel/_bazel_abc/235fe154e0' is on NFS.     
  This may lead to surprising failures and undetermined behavior.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have no clue what the error message means, but if I try running ./configure right after this error message, I get another message saying:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/home/rkohli1/.cache/bazel/_bazel_rkohli1/235fe154e0a4c7e0c0527cd185fe6b6b/server/
  .nfs00000000820050bd00000e9e (Device or resource busy).
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>At this point, I just tried deleting the entire .cache folder (I had to first kill a process which was preventing me from deleting it). I tried running configure with the --expunge_async flag as well but it doesn't help. It takes me back to the first error message.</p>
  
  <p>Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm trying to install tensorflow with GPU support and use cuda 8.0 and cudNN 5</p>
