cannot find -lhdf5_serial_h

[Martin Plantinga]

Hi, I'm trying to build Caffe in Ubuntu 16.04.

After typing make all the installation stops because of an lhdf5_serial_h error (see below).

Does somebody know how to solve this error?

Do you know how to solve it now?

Install the following dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev libleveldb-dev libsnappy-dev libopencv-dev libhdf5-serial-dev protobuf-compiler

In the Makefile.config make sure the paths to the INCLUDE_DIRS and LIBRARY_DIRS are set correctly. These paths are found by looking for hdf5 in the /usr/include and /usr/lib directories respectively:

cd /usr/include && find -name hdf5

cd /usr/lib && find -name hdf5

These are for example:

INCLUDE_DIRS := $(PYTHON_INCLUDE) /usr/local/include /usr/include/hdf5/serial

LIBRARY_DIRS := $(PYTHON_LIB) /usr/local/lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial

I follow your instruction, but the error still exist when i make.

Can you be a bit more explicit?

What is the output you get when:
1. typing: cd /usr/include && find -name hdf5

2. typing: cd /usr/lib && find -name hdf5

3. typing: make all

Also:

How does your Makefile.config look like?
