问题描述
在安装好caffe之后，想要运行自己的数据集，因此使用了Python写了数据的输入层，但是当运行的时候确报错：

通过问题的前几行发现问题主要出在Protocol Buffer上，说是版本太低，升级库的版本可以解决。千万不要升级，只会在这上面浪费时间，具体可参考网址。

问题原因
主要是因为caffe编译的时候默认的protobuf的版本是2.6.1，而Python通过pip install protobuf 安装的版本是最新版本3.4.0！

而在caffe环境中我们必须统一ProtoBuffer的版本才可以避免各种不易排查的错误！！ 
为此，我们先卸载Python的版本ProtoBuffer，再重新安装2.6.1的版本就完美的解决了这个问题。 
操作：

pip uninstall protobuf

E470:~/caffe$ pip uninstall protobuf
Uninstalling protobuf-3.4.0:
  /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/google/protobuf/__init__.py
  /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/google/protobuf/__init__.pyc
  .......
  Proceed (y/n)? y
  Successfully uninstalled protobuf-3.4.0

然后再重新安装：

pip install protobuf==2.6.1

解决!

PS: 
ProtoBuffer 是由Google开发的一种可以实现内存与非易失存储介质（如硬盘文件）交换的协议接口。
