Ubuntu 15.04 compilation failure due to "hdf5.h" instead of "hdf5/serial/hdf5.h" and similarly "hdf5_hl.h"

[robertsdionne]

No description provided.

[robertsdionne]

Similarly, unable to find libhdf5 or libhdf5_hl, which are located at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial/

Ah, thanks! As this goes in Makefile.config and is platform-specific, I'll close this report.

[byshen]

just modify the Makefile.config works for me !
Thanks a lot 😄

[datahack-ru]

It works!

[cuongduc]

Thanks! It works for me

[minarc]

I am on ubuntu 16.04 and it Works!

[hustc12]

@byshen, it works for me, thanks!

[vatsal12117]

how to solve this issue on ubuntu 16.04?

[machisuke]

It works for me too. Thanks.
Version is ubuntu 15.10

[han-qiu]

Thank you!
It works for me.
Ubuntu 16.04

[ghost]

Thank you, it worked! Ubuntu 16.04

[oggata]

Thank you, it worked! Ubuntu 15.04

[dweekly]

Can I suggest we add a commented out version of the above with a note "uncomment these to install on Ubuntu"?

[olypros]

Its WORKS !!!!!

[manpowre]

adding these in ubuntu 16.04 works:
+INCLUDE_DIRS := $(PYTHON_INCLUDE) /usr/local/include /usr/include/hdf5/serial/
+LIBRARY_DIRS := $(PYTHON_LIB) /usr/local/lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial/

I first verified the path exists before adding it.

[GonzaBCCC]

did not work for me (Ubuntu 16.04)

LD -o .build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lhdf5_serial_h
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:573: fallo en las instrucciones para el objetivo '.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0'
make: *** [.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0] Error 1

[ysangkok]

@GonzaBCCC did you install the libhdf5-dev package? on Ubuntu 17.04, this actually contains hdf5-serial and development headers even though there is a package named libhdf5-serial-dev (it contains just copyright info and such)

[yangyanglisjtu]

@byshen it works
