boost_mpi

[qingqing01]

The "sferes" needs boost_mpi. When I installed boost_1.57.0, there is mpi "include file", but there is no boost_mpi lib. I serarch the internet.
"
adding the following line to your user-config.jam file
using mpi ;
then
bjam --with-mpi
"
But I cann't find user-config.jam file in the boost path. I have installed MVAPICH2 2.0。

@Dcocoa To make sure, can you print out the output of your
./waf --configure in Sferes folder?

Does it match the example output in the Installation_Guide.pdf?

The following is the output of the ./waf --configure. The library boost_mpi can not be found.

I have installed boost_mpi library. In ther version of boost 1.57.0, need to add "using mpi" in the project-config.jam. O(∩_∩)O~

@anguyen8 Thanks a lot :)

@Dcocoa : Great! I was about to say that the configure output shows Sferes couldn't find your Boost::MPI .

Btw, please use one Boost version only and use it to build both Caffe and Sferes. Otherwise, you might run into conflicts later (as both frameworks use Boost).
