Caffe Installation 'make all' error with layer_factory.cpp, mkl_alternate.hpp files

[elijha....@gmail.com]

Hello Everyone,

I'm a newbie to caffe. I'm using Centos 6 in virtualbox, building caffe using CPU. I have installed all the dependencies, I'm having issue with the 'make all'. It returns me error as shown below

[root@localhost caffe-master]# make all
