Error building caffe: cannot find -lsnappy

[Jonathan Laserson]

Still encountering problems building caffe. Any ideas?

@:~/caffe$ make all

LD -o .build_release/lib/libcaffe.so

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsnappy

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so] Error 1

There was someone else who encountered this problem in the mailing list, but no one answered him, hopefully I'll have better luck.

Might have missed this line in the installation instructions.

sudo apt-get install libhdf5-serial-dev libleveldb-dev libsnappy-dev liblmdb-dev

Also remember to clean the .build directory before running 'make all' again.
