Cannot make the caffe-0.999

[tomoc]

Hi.
I can't installed caffe-0.999.
When I run make, I get the below error.

make: /usr/local/rcnn/R2012a/bin/mexext: Command was not found

I use ubuntu 14.04.
Unable to track what is the problem. Please help.

Thanks.

Hi tomoc,

try with another version of CUDA, for example the 5.5 version.

@ivanDonadello
I tryed it. but I got same error...
I have no idea.Please help.

Thanks.

Hi tomoc,

You can fix this error by the following steps:
1.comment line 224 in ./include/caffe/util/math_functions.hpp:

//using std::signbit;

2.make a minor change in the next line:

DEFINE_CAFFE_CPU_UNARY_FUNC(sgnbit, y[i] = signbit(x[i]));

to

DEFINE_CAFFE_CPU_UNARY_FUNC(sgnbit, y[i] = std::signbit(x[i]));

3.all done. make it now make clean&&make all -j8

Thanks!
I have successfully run the "make all" and "make test"!
But, when I run "make runtest", it outputs error like below.

I tried to error handling,But it outputs same error..
Do you have any solutions?

[nhlijiaming]

no CUDA-capable device is detected
You may need a nvidia video card or run it in CPU_ONLY mode.

[tomoc]

@nhlijiaming
Because I don't have GPU,I have already run it in CPU_ONLY mode.
I have no idea.

[Aky97567]

@nhlijiaming How can i ensure that caffe-0.999 runs in CPU mode?

[tingtinglu]

@nhlijiaming I also want to run caffe 0.999 in CPU mode, how can I do this?Thanks !

@Aky97567 @tingtinglu
Add CPU_ONLY := 1 in your Makefile.config, hopefully it will help.
