Issue summary

Installation instructions do not specify minimum version of gflags (nor of a few other prerequisites). Trying to compile using gflags 1.3 gives this error:

tools/caffe.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
tools/caffe.cpp:433:3: error: ‘SetVersionString’ is not a member of ‘gflags’
   gflags::SetVersionString(AS_STRING(CAFFE_VERSION));

Looking through the gflags history, it looks like this was introduced in 1.6.

Steps to reproduce

Edit Makefile.config appropriately, then do: "make clean ; make"

Your system configuration

Operating system: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5
Compiler: gcc 4.8.1
CUDA version (if applicable): n/a
CUDNN version (if applicable): n/a
BLAS: openblas
Python or MATLAB version (for pycaffe and matcaffe respectively): Python 2.7.13
gflags version: 1.3 (via EPEL)
