first run:

[Phil]

When I first run expresso I get the following error.

caffe itself is working fine.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Philip

try doing echo $EXPRESSO_ROOT and echo $CAFFE_ROOT , if it shows blank means the environment variables are not set. . . . that's what seems to be the error . . . 

[Phil]

I doble checked everything and this is not the problem, as you can see in the log (caffe and Expresso are both found).

[Jaley Dholakiya]

you are using older version of caffe (as inferred from log), because it has no message called "layer", try having latest copy of caffe from git . . . 

Note : Caffe has changed its message protocol of layer parameters. .

[Phil]

oh shoot. thank you!
