Hello Caffe is a library for deeplearning. When trying to build that library under Ubuntu 15.04, the compilation fails with the message:

:~/App/caffe$ make all

PROTOC src/caffe/proto/caffe.proto
CXX .build_release/src/caffe/proto/caffe.pb.cc
CXX src/caffe/layer_factory.cpp
In file included from ./include/caffe/common_layers.hpp:10:0,
                 from ./include/caffe/vision_layers.hpp:10,
                 from src/caffe/layer_factory.cpp:6:
./include/caffe/data_layers.hpp:9:18: fatal error: hdf5.h: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
 #include "hdf5.h"
                  ^
compilation terminated.
Makefile:512: recipe for target '.build_release/src/caffe/layer_factory.o' failed
make: *** [.build_release/src/caffe/layer_factory.o] Error 1

The building failure seems to be Ubuntu specific. I have checked the different dependencies. I tried different workaround: writing the path of hdf5.h directly in the Makefile.config, building hdf5 from source...

Thanks for advices

install libhdf5-dev

add patch to libhdf5 in Makefile.config.

example: INCLUDE_DIRS := $(PYTHON_INCLUDE) /usr/local/include /usr/include/hdf5/serial/

+1 Found this searching and it fixed the issue. @Jean-Pat, please consider accepting this answer if it solved your problem. – David Etler Jul 11 '15 at 13:54

This fixes the missing include but the compile just fails later because it can't find the libs. – Alistair Buxton Jul 19 '15 at 11:33
    
@Alistair Buxton: I have made an addition to the answer, in order to show how to fix this issue, if it persists, even after updating the Makefile.config. – Codetoffel Oct 2 '16 at 8:37
    
Works for me. Thanks – khan Dec 18 '17 at 1:30
