Hi Nicholas, Your last comment sums up the problem perfectly: "So it would be nice to have something that allows us to directly jump into exploring those venues rather than be bogged down with topics are more developer/programmer-guru oriented."
This is a big problem for the NuPIC community which we are struggling hard to address. Marek is leading the charge to make a NuPIC which just builds on every common system, but as you can see from all the build-related threads on this list, we have a way to go. Just an idea based on my 22 years of mucking around on Linux: is there something like ./configure that we can use to query a user's system and identify the steps required to ensure a good build? Surely there's a finite process which can be developed to avoid all the hassle? In the meantime, Nicholas, welcome to the community and please be assured we'll do what we can to help you get up and running.
