Hello!

I'm running Ubuntu Trusty and have faught my way through the dependencies so far (Found the Ubuntu-Specific page two days late) and now I can't build Caffe. I can but don't have to run cmake - either way, running 'make' or 'make all' gives me a segfault, running 'sudo make' or 'sudo make all' gives me nothing at all. I tried several command line debugging things, but the segfault appears right at the beginning. Only --debug returns this:

Reading makefiles...
Reading makefile `Makefile'...
Reading makefile `Makefile.config' (search path) (no ~ expansion)...

Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben)

(Speicherzugriffsfehler translates to Segfault)

Can you help me?

Could you post what your Makefile.config?  I'm guessing that's the only file you edited?

It looks like this, did I oversee anything?

So now I also checked if it is a hardware problem but also couldn't find anything. I remember that this machine could have slightly damaged hardware, but it's the only one I have and the only one I will have access to for quite some time so I would be really glad if there was another answer to this....
