Caffe Installation Problem

[David Chik]

Dear all,

I am trying to install Caffe but got this problem:

$ make all

ld: framework not found vecLib
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so] Error 1

I am using Mac OS X 10.9.4. I checked that vecLib.h can be found in:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/A/Headers

Any ideas how to fix this?
Thank you very much.

I had the same issue last night. Here is a quick patch that should resolve the problem temporarily:

Thank you very much. It solved the problem for now.

[Lin ZHANG]

Hi, can you tell me how to use it? Paste it on the Makefile directly?
Thanks.

Hi, how do you solve the problem? I have the same one.
I have no idea how to use the solution. Please give me some hint. Thanks.

Are you using Mac? You need to find the path of vecLib in your machine and then modify the Makefile.

But now I no longer use Mac to run Caffe. Please use Ubuntu 14.04.

I am the same problem as you, and it bothered me for two days. You just need to change BLAS_INCLUDE ?= /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platf

orms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Acc

elerate.framework/Versions/Current/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Headers/

   to one line, not tree line. 

 

  However, after fixing this problem, there is another error happened when compiling. /usr/local/include/boost/smart_ptr/detail/sp_counted_base_clang.hpp(27): error: explicit type is missing ("int" assumed)

[Rong Luo]

I have the same problem.

/opt/local/include/boost/smart_ptr/detail/sp_counted_base_clang.hpp(27): error: explicit type is missing ("int" assumed)

Have you fix the problem? Is there any idea to resolve it ?

Caffe appears to be incompatible with the latest version of Boost. This should solve your problem:

I had the same issue. The problem seems that the FindvecLib.cmake module is linking against the vecLib library

instead of the Accelerate framework. I solved by commenting out the check for vecLib, i.e. changing the bottom FindvecLib.cmake

(you can find in cmake/Modules) from:

if(VECLIB_FOUND)

  if(vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR MATCHES "^/System/Library/Frameworks/vecLib.framework.*")

    set(vecLib_LINKER_LIBS -lcblas "-framework vecLib")

    message(STATUS "Found standalone vecLib.framework")

  else()

    set(vecLib_LINKER_LIBS -lcblas "-framework Accelerate")

    message(STATUS "Found vecLib as part of Accelerate.framework")

endif()

into

if(VECLIB_FOUND)

#  if(vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR MATCHES "^/System/Library/Frameworks/vecLib.framework.*")

#    set(vecLib_LINKER_LIBS -lcblas "-framework vecLib")

#    message(STATUS "Found standalone vecLib.framework")

#  else()

    set(vecLib_LINKER_LIBS -lcblas "-framework Accelerate")

    message(STATUS "Found vecLib as part of Accelerate.framework")

endif()

I hope this helps.
