compiling caffe on Yosemite

Question

I'm trying to install caffe on Yosemite, and my C is not the strongest. Here is my error:

make: *** [.build_release/cuda/src/caffe/layers/absval_layer.o] Error 1

I'm guessing that the problem is with the compiler, so I installed gcc from brew and tried running it using

make all CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-5.2

which still did not help.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

its a boost version problem.

If you using brew do the following:

Answer 2

I had the same problem. As someone else said, it turned out for me to be a problem with boost 1.58.0

I fixed it by doing the following (assuming you have brew installed)

 $ cd /usr/local/Library/Formula 
 $ cd Library/Formula/
 $ cp boost.rb boost_backup.rb
 $ cp boost-python.rb boost-python_backup.rb
 $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/6fd6a9b6b2f56139a44dd689d30b7168ac13effb/Library/Formula/boost.rb
 $ mv boost.rb.1 boost.rb
 $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/3141234b3473717e87f3958d4916fe0ada0baba9/Library/Formula/boost-python.rb
 $ mv boost-python.rb.1 boost-python.rb
 $ brew uninstall --force boost
 $ brew install boost

After doing this I was able to make all with GPU support no problem.
