Makefile.config issues when trying to import caffe

[Danny Johnson]

I am attempting to get caffe (I am running Python 3.6.0 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit)) to run but when I try to import caffe I receive this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "step5_create_output_images_kfold.py", line 15, in <module>

  File "/home/dan/caffe/python/caffe/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

I am very new to working with caffe and I would like a detailed decription of how to fix this problem if possible. I have searched far and wide on this form and many others with no luck. Thank you!!
