Error while installing Caffe on Ubuntu 15.04; make runtest unknown error

[Ankit Dhall]

Hello,

I am new to caffe and was recently installing it on Ubuntu 15.04 with NVIDIA GeForce 920M.

I installed the NVIDIA driver through display settings.

Followed the instructions on the caffe installation page for ubuntu and used cmake to build files.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make all
make install
make runtest

Everything was error free until I ran make runtest. 

I got the following:

What could be a possible error here and how could I fix it?

Thanks.

Figured out the problem. Running with super user privileges worked.

sudo make runtest
