Linux Mint Import Error about caffe-feedstock HOT 13 CLOSED

from caffe-feedstock.

Good catch @183amir .

So we install the executable Python scripts in the conda environment. This way you can run them wherever you need to.

That being said, if you still need those importable scripts, maybe just rename the directory to caffe_python or something else so as not to conflict. Then you should be able to import them.

from caffe-feedstock.

Yeah, it looks like the from ._caffe import ... is getting you in trouble as that is a shared object that is only in the built package of caffe. You might be able to do something really hacky and add a symlink to where it is in site-packages. I don't really recommend it, but Caffe's Python packaging is suboptimal. So it may be an acceptable short-term solution.

In any event, thanks for raising this. It reminded me to bump issue ( BVLC/caffe#4170 ) again.

Thanks for the bug report. Unable to reproduce this on the CentOS 6 docker image currently. Could you please provide some more info about your system like what version of Linux Mint and glibc version?

from caffe-feedstock.

I am probably being dim but don't I need to be in that folder to run those python scripts for the neural network?

from caffe-feedstock.

Nope! [Trying to run this: https://github.com/xiaolonw/caffe-video_triplet in case that is useful information.]

Aha! Ignore above - was definitely being way way too under-caffeinated. Solved because of your advice! Thanks!

@oliviaguest I am closing this since looks like your problem is solved and it's not related to this feedstock anyway.

from caffe-feedstock.

I didn't have a line with that though. For what it's worth all I have was "import caffe" nothing with an underscore. Ideally I'd like to be able install caffe without a virtual environment, but have not managed it so far. I would like to use my Titan X too.

from caffe-feedstock.

It appears in your traceback. 😕

In any event, I think this reduces down to what @183amir has already said. One can't have another caffe importable on the path.

from caffe-feedstock.

@jakirkham The traceback is a result of running the following as you can see from above too: python -c 'import caffe; print(caffe.__version__)'
Nothing in that line contains caffe with an underscore. Am I missing something?

from caffe-feedstock.

What are the contents of your current directory?

The problem is fixed because I was within the caffe directory. So now when I start the virtual environment it works.
