Install mxnet 0.12.1 on AWS cuda9 deep learning AMI

AWS deep learning AMIs come with mxnet 0.12.0 RC. Apparently this version has a bug that sets random initialization weights to 0. How to I remove the preinstalled mxnet and upgrade?

Logged in via SHH as ec2-user, I tried

cd src
sudo rm -rf mxnet
git clone --recursive github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet.git mxnet

but the R-package build fails. Do I have to make/compile the program prior to R-package? Because that also fails. This package installation only works with a nightmare of inconsistent LD library configurations.

Yes, you need to compile the MXNet program before building R package. The detailed installation guide is here: http://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/install/index.html
