cannot compile on Centos 6.7

[enixonumm]

Hello, I am trying to compile caffe with a CPU only installation on Centos 6.7.
I have boost version boost-1.41.0-27.el6.x86_64
I tried looking for a newer version of boost but none seem to be available for Centos 6.7.
When I run make all, I receive the following error message.
Any suggestions for what might be causing this and/or how to fix it?

INPUT

make all

OUTPUT

CXX src/caffe/parallel.cpp
In file included from ./include/caffe/caffe.hpp:18,
from src/caffe/parallel.cpp:12:
./include/caffe/util/io.hpp: In function 'void caffe::MakeTempDir(std::string_)':
./include/caffe/util/io.hpp:27: error: 'temp_directory_path' is not a member of 'boost::filesystem'
./include/caffe/util/io.hpp:29: error: 'unique_path' is not a member of 'boost::filesystem'
make: *_* [.build_release/src/caffe/parallel.o] Error 1

You could try using docker (#3518) which allows you to use Ubuntu.

I'm closing this since this is an installation question. From https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md:

Please do not post usage, installation, or modeling questions, or other requests for help to Issues.
Use the caffe-users list instead. This helps developers maintain a clear, uncluttered, and efficient view of the state of Caffe.

Thanks.
I just downloaded the docker but I am not sure if I can get it to work as
is on Centos 6.7.
There is not an apt-get repository for centos 6.7.
I will probably try to rewrite parts of the docker file to make it
compatible.

@enixonumm The docker file should be self-contained, and does not depend on what your host OS is (for most purposes). If you don't have docker installed, consider looking at the instructions at https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/centos/

You should then be able to build the docker images if you fetch the relevant pull request (or create your own docker images using those as a basis).

Thanks!
It works!

@enixonumm I get the problems as yours, Is installing docker the only way to solve this ?

@elezar @SevenGong I get the same problems on Centos 6.6 with Boost 1.41. It is true temp_directory_path and unique_path are not implemented in Boost 1.41.
Can I avoid the error by using older version of Caffe?

Thanks

Hi, using the docker image only worked briefly for me.
It quickly filled up my root directory and I had to expunge it from my
system to get the system to work again.
If you are going to use the docker make sure that you have plenty of space
in your root directory.
If not, you would have to repartition your hard drives which I was not
willing to do.
My ultimate solution was to put ubuntu on an old computer that wasn't been
used.

Good luck!

@SevenGong @yunchih I solved this problem by installing boost_1.60 or you may have to install caffe-rc2 instead.
Makefile.config @ line 65/66:
# Whatever else you find you need goes here.
INCLUDE_DIRS := $(PYTHON_INCLUDE) /home/xxx/boost/include /usr/local/include
LIBRARY_DIRS := $(PYTHON_LIB) /home/xxx/boost/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/lib /usr/lib64 /usr/lib64/atlas /usr/local/cuda/lib64
Following steps to install boost:
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=path/to/installation/prefix
./b2 install
