libxml error when building Caffe

[Amin Suzani]

Hi,

When I wanna make Caffe (make all) in Ubuntu 14.04, I get the following error:

CXX/LD -o .build_debug/tools/upgrade_net_proto_text.bin

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [.build_debug/tools/upgrade_net_proto_text.bin] Error 1

I reinstalled libxml2-dev using apt-get, but the problem persists. Did anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,

Amin
