Not up-to-date and rather poor

The drivers that are shipped with this image are not particularly up-to-date, even though the image apparently has been updated recently.

Most of the nvidia stuff has been installed into /opt/nvidia, but other stuff in /usr/lib64. Which is not a problem per se, just inconstent and a minior inconvenience.

Some things are just broken for development purposes, like the CUDA pkg-config file, which returns this build bot directory as location for the includes:

$ pkg-config --cflags cuda-6.5
-I/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/cuda-6.5.14-1.12.amzn1.x86_64/opt/nvidia/cuda/include

Lots of little things like that.

Having said that, it's not totally unusable.
