系统存在多个opencv库导致的caffe运行异常:undefined symbol imencode imread

今天运行faster rcnn demo的时候居然出错了：

guyadong@gyd-u16:~/tmp/py-faster-rcnn$ tools/demo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

根据提示信息，应该是找不到imencode这个函数。
运行caffe的test (make runtest)也同样报错，只是这次是找不到im_read函数。

imencode，imread都是OpenCV的函数，但是opencv明明已经正确安装了啊，而且前几天faster rcnn已经安装运行成功并且训练了自己的模型，demo程序更是没问题，没道理啊。
用google搜索找了半天，尝试了搜索上的各种办法都无效，最后想到用ldd命令列出libcaffe.so.1.0.0-rc5依赖的动态库，发现了问题，如下图：

原来我使用的另一个第三方程序cassdk中自带了opencv动态库，而且它在LD_LIBRARY_PATH的优先级更高，所以libcaffe.so.1.0.0-rc5在运行时使用了cassdk下的opencv库，而不是我apt-get安装的opencv库。

果断卸载了这个程序，再用ldd命令查看，这下依赖关系正常了。

再运行py-faster-rcnn/tools/demo.py则一切正常。

总结
遇到这种undefined symbol的问题，先别急着重装对应的库，用ldd命令看看动态库依赖关系，更有助于找到问题的根本原因。
