Caffe bug fixing List

These days I am focusing on compling caffe in Ubuntu14.04

And I met some problems and fixed them in the end.

Now is the list about problems:

here is 2 parts of the setup-files and I followed them.

1. about add PATH problems

it said like this:

$ sudo gedit /etc/bash.bashrc  
在结尾处添加内容：
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-7.5/bin:$PATH 
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-7.5/lib64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

but fails when we check PATH like this:

echo $PATH

so we edit the file without "export" at the end of "bash.bashrc"

PATH=/usr/local/cuda-7.5/bin:$PATH 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-7.5/lib64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

then we update, re-edit the file and delete the last 2 lines:

$ source /etc/bash.bashrc  

2. setup samples:

We need to setup the samples in /usr/local/cuda/

actually just find the .sh file:

$ cuda-install-samples-7.5.sh <dir> 

3. facing the problem about gpu-version

how to check if gpu fit:

cd /usr/local/cuda/samples/bin/x86_64/linx/release
sudo ./deviceQuery

sudo dpkg --list | grep nvidia-*

if it said "FAILED" with "is insuffiencient"

then maybe the cuda version is not fit nvidia version:

cuda 6.5 ->nvidia-340

cuda 7.5 ->nvidia-352

so coded like this:

sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*

and then we find nvidia-352 in "software & update"

4. "Unknown Mex ..." ... ERROR 255 ... "-o"

when we :

sudo make matcaffe -j8

so 2 steps:

A. check gcc version & g++

gcc -v

if it is 4.8.* or even better, then we download 4.7 version and overlap them

B. still cannot

then

re-edit Makefile like this:

http://download.csdn.net/detail/znmax1217/9475853

change CXXLIBS="\$$CXXLIBS $(LDFLAGS)" -o $@
to CXXLIBS="\$$CXXLIBS $(STATIC_NAME) $(LDFLAGS)" -output $@
