It's helps to remember, too, the reason for the order is that the
second option isn't required. It will put a symlink with the same base
name in your current working directory without it.

Confused about this, so I'd like to ask, before I mess things up.
I am attempting to follow the instructions on
http://askubuntu.com/questions/693145/installing-cuda-7-5-toolkit-on-ubuntu-15-10
I'd like to create a symbolic link from cc (which is a symlink) to
/opt/compiler_cuda/gcc
|cc -> /opt/compiler_cuda/gcc
|So the command should be: sudo ln -s cc /opt/compiler_cuda/gcc
? Or reverse the arguments?
Sorry about this primitive question, sometimes I get confused
about the order. As I have found online, the description is
ln -s /path/to/file path/to/symlink. However, this still confuses
me. Which is which in my example?
Can someone enlighten me? TIA.

Pardon my denseness (density?), but what you have shown is still
confusing to me.
ln -s thing-I-want-a-symlink-to where-I-want-to-put-it <-- I don't
understand this :(
In my case, I want any reference to cc to point to
/opt/compiler_cuda/gcc. It turns out /opt/compiler_cuda/gcc will be a
symlink as well. Eventually the cc reference will end up pointing to
gcc-4.9, since CUDA7.5 does not support gcc5.
Is it
1) ln -s cc /opt/compiler_cuda/gcc or
2) ln -s /opt/compiler_cuda/gcc cc
Which one does what I want? Seriously confused.
