Digits issue with CAFFE_ROOT variable

[gunju]

I am getting following issue while using digits 5.0. My caffe installation is at /home/ubuntu/caffe.

"/home/ubuntu/caffe" from CAFFE_ROOT does not point to a valid installation of Caffe.
Use the envvar CAFFE_ROOT to indicate a valid installation.

./digits-devserver is working for Digits 4.0

Please help me to solve this issue.

Possibly a problem with protobuf. Try rebuilding protobuf from source. DIGITS currently targets PB 3.2
