Can't complete make pycaffe (Python.h not found)

[João Devezas]

I'm installing Caffe on an Ubuntu 16.04 system with CUDA 9.1 and cuDNN 7.0.5

I successfully compiled Caffe with the "make all" command but when trying to compile pycaffe with "make pycaffe" I get the following error:

    CXX/LD -o python/caffe/_caffe.so python/caffe/_caffe.cpp
    python/caffe/_caffe.cpp:1:52: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.
    Makefile:507: recipe for target 'python/caffe/_caffe.so' failed
    make: *** [python/caffe/_caffe.so] Error 1

I'm using Anaconda 2.7.14 which is located at (with 'which conda' command):

    /home/jdevezas/anaconda2/bin/conda

Here's how the makefile.config for Caffe looks:

    # NOTE: this is required only if you will compile the python interface.
    # We need to be able to find Python.h and numpy/arrayobject.h.
    #PYTHON_INCLUDE := /usr/include/python2.7 \
    /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/core/include
    # Anaconda Python distribution is quite popular. Include path:
    # Verify anaconda location, sometimes it's in root.
     ANACONDA_HOME := /home/jdevezas/anaconda2
     PYTHON_INCLUDE := $(ANACONDA_HOME)/include \
    $(ANACONDA_HOME)/include/python2.7 \
    $(ANACONDA_HOME)/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include
   
    # Uncomment to use Python 3 (default is Python 2)
    # PYTHON_LIBRARIES := boost_python3 python3.5m
    # PYTHON_INCLUDE := /usr/include/python3.5m \
    #                 /usr/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/numpy/core/include
   
    # We need to be able to find libpythonX.X.so or .dylib.
    # PYTHON_LIB := /usr/lib
     PYTHON_LIB := $(ANACONDA_HOME)/lib

I have the following line at the end of the .bashrc file:

        # added by Anaconda2 installer
    export PATH="/home/jdevezas/anaconda2/bin:$PATH"

Any help would be appreciated

I think you need to set PYTHONPATH to the python directory located inside the caffe root.
