boost --with-python required on osx for pycaffe target #465 #1193

sanjeev87 · 2014-09-30T20:03:02Z

brew install --build-from-source --with-python --fresh -vd boost is not installing boost_python lib files .. Please refer Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#32704 , that explains that boost no longer installs python .. I am still trying to install boost python , any advice helps as this method is not working

shelhamer · 2014-10-01T16:16:23Z

Try boost 1.55 and older homebrew packages instead. boost 1.56 seems to have yet more issues with NVCC and doesn't build for me due to

/usr/local/include/boost/config/suffix.hpp(496): error: identifier "__int128" is undefined
/usr/local/include/boost/config/suffix.hpp(497): error: expected a ";"

shelhamer · 2014-10-01T16:42:39Z

git checkout a252214 /usr/local/Library/Formula/boost.rb in the homebrew clone, that is /usr/loca/Cellar or the like, will restore the boost 1.55 formula that works on OSX.

roseperrone · 2014-10-06T20:26:56Z

That fixed build errors, but I still get the following runtime error. What can I try to fix it?

brew install boost-python fixed it for me on 1.56

roseperrone · 2014-10-08T19:34:36Z

I did that (uninstalled boost 1.55, installed boost 1.56, ran brew install boost-python, but now I see these errors when I run make clean; make all; make runtest:

In my Makefile.config, I've set CPU_ONLY := 1.

shelhamer · 2014-10-08T19:43:50Z

There should be more detailed errors where those tests are run. Do
./build/test/test_power_layer.testbin and include the gradient checker
outputs for the listed failures.

This shouldn't happen -- it indicates that a GPU test is being called from CPU mode. Did you make all once before setting the CPU_ONLY flag? I just did a quick test clone on OS X 10.9 and everything went right so perhaps try a make clean and make && make test && make runtest.

shelhamer · 2014-10-10T05:44:05Z

The installation instructions for have been updated for the boost and boost-python split in cb60a41 with a warning about NVCC and boost 1.56 at least on OS X.

Note to self: check out -D__STRICT_ANSI__ for clang++.

BradNeuberg · 2014-10-12T18:27:27Z

I'm still seeing these same problems, even with the updates you made to the README.md file. I'm on Mac OS X 10.9.5 using brew and anaconda to set everything up.

BradNeuberg · 2014-10-12T18:31:38Z

Note that I could only get it working by setting CPU_ONLY := 1 in the Makefile. I also had the Nvidia CUDA package installed.

I lied; it doesn't actually work, even with the GPU support turned off. When I tried to train using the MNIST data it failed as follows:

shelhamer · 2014-10-12T19:26:58Z

@BradNeuberg there are a few conflated issues in your comments:

boost compatibility of pycaffe: keeping with 1.55 and building by --with-python or switching to 1.56 and installing boost-python too works as long as the libstdc++ advice is followed
the power layer gradient failures are covered in TestPowerGradientShiftZero, TestPowerGradient fail with certain boost #1252
the LeNet example error CPU-only Mode: cannot make GPU call. is exactly what it it says: that example is configured for GPU mode by default. Change the solver config for CPU mode and you'll be set: https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/blob/master/examples/mnist/lenet_solver.prototxt#L24-L25

Please follow-up with usage questions on the caffe-users mailing list.

sanjeev87 · 2014-10-12T19:31:58Z

The issue of the three tests failing has been reported by multiple users now and it is now being followed in multiple threads..

BradNeuberg · 2014-10-12T19:52:37Z

Thanks for responding so quickly! I've installed Boost and boost-python 1.56 and made sure that libstdc++ is used; note that in the README it doesn't say to edit the brew config file for boost-python. Not sure if that is a README bug. I've tried editing that file to ensure boost-python doesn't use clang and it doesn't seem to work.

I'll try the other things you've mentioned to see if I can get it working. Thanks for your help!

mprat · 2014-11-14T20:03:32Z

@BradNeuberg I just made it work on my machine using MKL and Boost 1.55. Make sure you are really careful about your BLAS_LIBS and BLAS_INCLUDE in the Makefile.config when switching to MKL.

beejisbrigit · 2014-11-19T08:55:48Z

I am also running into the same issues @BradNeuberg when doing a fresh "newbie" install of caffe. Is there a cleaner way to revert to boost 1.55, other than running "brew edit boost" and changing the url/sha1 for the package version? "brew install boost 1.55" and some variations of 1.55.## didn't work. Switching the package url does appear to be working however.

mprat · 2014-11-19T15:18:22Z

cd /usr/local
git checkout a252214 /usr/local/Library/Formula/boost.rb
brew install --build-from-source --with-python --fresh -vd boost

(I put it here: https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/wiki/Installation-(OSX) for the future)

svanschalkwyk · 2015-01-26T17:03:33Z

Comments about Boost version are red herrings. I ran into the same issues. They disappeared when I included Python into the build.
Runtest now executes cleanly.

houxianxu · 2015-06-25T01:16:10Z

When I run git checkout a252214 /usr/local/Library/Formula/boost.rb, there is an error.
error: pathspec 'a252214' did not match any file(s) known to git.

Any idea about it, thanks!

mprat · 2015-07-09T01:51:51Z

I actually had this problem myself recently - it looks like someone went through the homebrew commit history and the commit has changed. If you go through and look for the commit hash for boost.rb that is for version 1.55, you can find the right hash. Alternatively, you can do the following:

brew edit boost

And change the first two lines (the url and sha256 ones) to:

url "https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.57.0/boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2"
sha1 "e151557ae47afd1b43dc3fac46f8b04a8fe51c12"

The newest version of caffe should work with boost 1.57 in this configuration - no need to revert back to boost 1.55.
