SSD example error

[lucasjinreal]

Simply run SSD example got this error:

[01:09:24] src/nnvm/legacy_json_util.cc:185: Warning: loading symbol saved by MXNet version 1001 with lower version of MXNet v1000. May cause undefined behavior. Please update MXNet if you encounter any issue

MXNet can upgrade old network on newer version but not in the other way.
Can you try with a newer MXNet version or download an older pretrained model.

[lucasjinreal]

Well, I know it's version issue, but I just installed from pip which gives me 0.10.0, the newest version is 0.11, but why not update pip? I really cannot build from source, the official doc is so out-of-date and messy.

[edmBernard]

MXNet 0.11 is not release yet. It's in rc2.
The official doc seem up to date for installation from source : http://mxnet.io/get_started/install.html
if you know how docker work you can see that : docker mxnet gpu

[edmBernard]

Where did your model come from ?

[lucasjinreal]

Just follow the SSD example, download right from link given by that example, exception for some path issue, this model seems not compatiable with mxnet 0.10.0. But strongly recommended update pip source version.

[sandeep-krishnamurthy]

You can install 0.11-rc1 with below pip command:

for cpu

pip install mxnet==0.11.0.rc1

#for gpu with cuda8
pip install mxnet-cu80==0.11.0.rc1

As mentioned by @edmBernard MXNet 0.11 is not yet released. Pip package will be updated post release.
