Failed installation: cannot overwrite non-directory 'R-package/inst/include/dmlc' with directory '3rdparty/dmlc-core/include/dmlc'

Hello everybody. It is my 1st post here. I’m trying to install mxnet under Ubuntu 16.04, CUDA 9.0 but at the moment I’m stucked on package compilation because I get back such error:
> nicola@nicola-Precision-WorkStation-T5500:~/mxnet$ sudo make rpkg
> [sudo] password for nicola:

Does anybody know any possible solution to this issue?

Thank you

Hi @kbolab,

Just to double check, you managed to build the MXNet Shared Library okay right? Instruction found here.

Also did you try using the quick setup script for Ubuntu?

git clone --recursive https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet.git mxnet
cd mxnet/docs/install
./install_mxnet_ubuntu_r.sh

Yes I did. But nothing to do. During compiling there are some broken links that are generated and the script doesn’t allow to overwrite them. I tried both using directly R bash script and by manual installation, even using sudo before script. Nothing to do.
